Abstract
This article presents preliminary findings on the application of both Speculative Design and Game Design towards the conception of two prototypes of serious games with focus on anorexia. The first prototype focuses on psychoeducation of school-age youth, and the second aims to support research and sharing of knowledge about the disease, able to be used in focus groups and interviews. Anorexia is a complex and often fatal disease that has no cure, and by conceiving and playing these first prototypes we were able get a glimpse of the its context, making us more ready for this research’s next stages.

Notes
- 1.
Structured, didactic and systematic intervention in Psychology: Educational, Social and Health. In this type of intervention characteristics about the functioning of diseases people suffer from are explained to them. The point is that if patients have a deeper knowledge about their own illness, they may feel safer in monitoring themselves with increased awareness and conscious, therefore easing their own reflection on their harmful behaviours [9, 10].
