About

Sandra Jurdi is a researcher at the intersection of healthcare and interactive technology, with a primary focus on leveraging game-based interventions for pediatric patient care. Her most impactful work, the highly cited 2018 systematic review "A systematic review of game technologies for pediatric patients" (57 citations), provides a comprehensive synthesis of how digital games can be used to improve clinical outcomes, reduce anxiety, and enhance rehabilitation for children. This foundational contribution has shaped subsequent research in serious games for health, establishing her as a key voice in the field. Jurdi's work demonstrates a deep commitment to human-centered design, exploring how playful interfaces can transform the often stressful hospital experience into one of engagement and empowerment. Her research not only maps the existing landscape but also identifies critical gaps, guiding future innovations in pediatric digital health. Through her systematic approach, she has helped bridge the gap between game design principles and evidence-based medical practice, making her a notable figure in the growing domain of health gamification.
