Improving Executive Function in Children and Adolescents Aged 7 to 18

Eye-Riders is a serious game designed to enhance attention and specific executive functions in children. Through short, targeted sessions based on scientific research, it helps improvevisual and auditory attention, cognitive flexibility, and inhibitory control, while encouraging adherence to the program and tracking progress over time.

THE PROBLEM

When training is effective but adherence is low, effectiveness is reduced

In clinical practice, we see this every day: long sessions, repetitive exercises, and low motivation make it difficult to maintain consistency. Eye-Riders was created to boost collaboration and adherence while maintaining a clear and measurable framework.

Difficulty in maintaining patient engagement over time

Family expectations regarding observable progress and sustainable routines

Limited time for processing, follow-up, and feedback

Tools that are not well-suited for a hybrid model (office + home)

A serious game designed to train attention and executive functions

Eye-Riders is a serious game developed by Develop-Players in collaboration with professionals and researchers in the field of neurodevelopment. Patients participate in short, guided sessions with progressively increasing difficulty; clinicians can monitor the patient’s progress and incorporate the collected data into the patient’s clinical records.

Sustained visual and auditory attention

Inhibition of automatic responses

Cognitive flexibility (switching)

Behavior planning and control

HOW IT WORKS

A 9-week clinical protocol that is easy to prescribe and follow

Each game environment presents challenges that require concentration, self-control, and adaptability. The short format reduces fatigue and encourages consistency, making it easier to complete the tasks even within complex daily routines.

They talk about us

Bring more sustainable training to your practice without compromising on rigor

We know that a rehabilitation program isn’t “just about having patients do exercises”: it means choosing a protocol that aligns with clinical goals, maintaining high adherence over time, managing follow-ups and communication with the family, and monitoring progress without adding to the clinic’s workload.

Eye-Riders helps you improve focus and consistency when working on attention and executive functions, using a brief, trackable protocol.
