Scratch It!
• Why is “Gamification” relevant?
$10.5 billion in revenue in 2009, with latest stats suggesting double that
Average age is about 35, with genders split roughly equally
60% of all adults play several hours a week, averaging 10K hours before age 21

Scratch It!
• What exactly is “Gamification”?
Use of game design techniques and mechanics to connect and engage with audiences in an otherwise non-gaming environment
Transforms basic messaging and campaigning to encourage users to make decisions and participate in desired behavior
![Page 6: Unniched ignite gamification_10252011](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060109/5553773db4c905894e8b4dbb/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

Scratch It!
• “Gamification” prerequisites
Emotionally connects with the user through compelling storytelling, incentives, and feedback
Enables continuous advancement, and fosters connectivity to user competitors/peers
Ultimately results in premeditated user behavioral modification

Scratch It!
• “Gamification” best practices
Effective gamification finds a balance between engaging game mechanics and creation of an experience designed to modify behavior
Too much emphasis on gaming aspect will engage users but compromise behavioral change
Too much emphasis on outcome will reduce engagement and ultimately also compromise behavioral change

Sniff It!
• What is “Gamification” for health?
Taking otherwise tedious, repetitive, boring, or even painful routines and transforming them into an engaging gaming experience
Revitalizes basic messaging and campaigning to encourage users to make decisions and participate in desired behavior for the betterment of their health and wellness

• Some “Gamification” categories in health
Cognitive and emotional health

Active gaming and fitness (“exergaming”)
Rehabilitation games
Medical education, training, and simulation

Sniff It!• Check out this demo of a gamified
experience for Type 1 diabetics…

Sniff It!• Let’s get “hands on” with some health
gamification examples…
“Ben’s Game” PC “Iron Invaders” iPadhttp://www.sfwish.org/site/pp.asp?c=bdJLITMAE&b=81927

Learn It!
• Group brainstorm part 1
Are these true examples of the “gamification” of health? Which ones educate, and which ones actually change behaviors?
What qualities of the examples we’ve seen make for a particularly good gaming experience?
How might these examples be improved to heighten engagement while still facilitating behavioral change?
![Page 16: Unniched ignite gamification_10252011](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060109/5553773db4c905894e8b4dbb/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Learn It!
• Group brainstorm part 2
Let’s choose a hypothetical audience and imagine gamifying their reality
Do we start with the game mechanics or the intended behavioral change?
How do we find the right balance between engagement dynamics and behavioral modification?
![Page 17: Unniched ignite gamification_10252011](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060109/5553773db4c905894e8b4dbb/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Learn It!
• Group brainstorm part 3
What are some health areas where gamification would be applied?
Learning about treatment options
Managing side effects
Complying and adhering to a medication
![Page 18: Unniched ignite gamification_10252011](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060109/5553773db4c905894e8b4dbb/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Imagine It!

Imagine It!
• Ideas about the future of health gamification…– Integration with #mhealth could create
real time interactivity with biosensors– Near field communications (ultra-short
wifi) could eliminate boundary between worlds
– Evolution of privacy could open more doors to social gaming and sharing
