From 1 to 7 June 2026, members of the SAGA-C project team—Prof. Miodrag Stanković, MD, Dr. Anđelka Hedrih, and Dr. Đorđe Jovanović—visited the project’s diaspora partner, Dr. Stanislav Stanković, at Electronic Arts Inc. in Helsinki, Finland. Dr. Dejan Stevanović, MD, Senior Research Associate, participated in the working meetings online.
During the visit, the project team became familiar with the standard procedures, development process, and key stages involved in video game design, as well as the professional working environment at Electronic Arts.
Prior to the visit, an online questionnaire for parents of children with ASD had been developed and approved by the relevant institutional ethics committees. The survey was designed to collect data relevant to identifying the characteristics and habits of the future users of the video game.
Based on the survey results, the project team defined the initial guidelines for the design of the video game, which is being developed as a future intervention tool for children with ASD.
