  The paper generically models an augmented reality game-based environment to
project the gamification of an online cognitive behavioral therapist that
performs instant measurements for patients with a predefined Attention Deficit
Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). ADHD is one of the most common
neurodevelopmental disorders in which patients have difficulties related to
inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. Those patients are in need for a
psychological therapy; the use of cognitive behavioral therapy as a
firmly-established treatment is to help in enhancing the way they think and
behave. A major limitation in traditional cognitive behavioral therapies is
that therapists may face difficulty to optimize patients' neuropsychological
stimulus following a specified treatment plan, i.e., therapists struggle to
draw clear images when stimulating patients' mindset to a point where they
should be. Other limitations recognized here include availability,
accessibility and level-of-experience of the therapists. Therefore, the paper
present a gamification model, we term as "AR-Therapist," in order to take
advantages of augmented reality developments to engage patients in both real
and virtual game-based environments. The model provides an on-time measurements
of patients' progress throughout the treatment sessions which, in result,
overcomes limitations observed in traditional cognitive behavioral therapies.
