Kids aged 8-12 with conditions like ADHD or oppositional behavior were assigned to use the game or receive their usual care for 6 months. The game uses a heart rate monitor to teach kids to calm down, and researchers checked if it reduced aggression, irritability, and family healthcare costs over a year.
