Tech Leader Hails ‘Gamified Therapy’ as a Timely Breakthrough for Disability Inclusion
Karachi resident and disability advocate, Saleem Akhtar, has publicly thrown his support behind the burgeoning trend of Gamified Therapy, calling it a “extremely useful and timely innovation” for persons with disabilities (PWDs). Akhtar’s endorsement comes amid a surge in media attention surrounding technology that merges playful interaction with crucial therapeutic goals.
Speaking on the potential impact, Akhtar expressed profound optimism: “I consider this invention in the media to be an extremely useful and timely innovation for persons with disabilities. I hope that this invention will create ease in the lives of disabled individuals and give them the opportunity to move forward as well.”
Experts suggest that Gamified Therapy—which uses elements like point scoring, competition, and rules of play to encourage adherence to physical or cognitive rehabilitation routines—can significantly increase patient motivation. Akhtar’s perspective highlights how accessible digital solutions can bridge existing gaps in traditional healthcare delivery, offering PWDs new avenues for autonomy and participation. The move is viewed as a critical step toward leveraging accessible tech for meaningful social inclusion.”Saleem Akhter Sa Media Karachi 11/23/2025
