In chronic diseases, obtaining a correct diagnosis and providing the mostappropriate treatments often is not enough to guarantee an improvement of theclinical condition of a patient. Poor adherence to medical prescriptionsconstitutes one of the main causes preventing achievement of therapeutic goals.This is generally true especially for certain diseases and specific targetpatients, such as children. An engaging and entertaining technology can beexploited in support of clinical practices to achieve better health outcomes.Our assumption is that a gamified session with a humanoid robot, compared tothe usual methodologies for therapeutic education, can be more incisive inlearning the correct inhalation procedure in children affected by asthma. Inthis perspective, we describe an interactive module implemented on the Pepperrobotic platform and the setting of a study that was planned in 2020 to be heldat the Pneumoallergology Pediatric clinic of CNR in Palermo. The study wascanceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Our long-term goal is to assess, bymeans of a qualitative-quantitative survey plan, the impact of such aneducational action, evaluating possible improvement in the adherence to thetreatment.
