Welcome to #EGW19 Sessions, a new podcast series created by European Games Week to bring listeners together with celebrated figures & masterful professionals of the game industry.

Hosted by Hans Kauffmann, we are joined this week by Darragh McCashin, a researcher at University College Dublin focused on studying the positive effects of Computerized cognitive behavioural techniques in a game called Pesky gNATs.

Pesky gNATs is designed to help mental health professionals deliver CBT interventions to young people. It combines gaming and mobile technology with the highest quality psychological content to support evidence-based interventions with young people aged 9-17.

Starting on September 17th, the European Games Summit is bringing professionals from all areas of the game industry to form new connections and build positive, valuable experiences for players worldwide.
