A Comprehensive Review of Gamification in Healthcare: Incentives in Mobile Healthcare App (original) (raw)

Gamification is a systematic approach for using game features and methods to make non-game processes more engaging. Gamification is a motivational technique that uses game mechanics, game dynamics, and components to encourage users to complete challenging tasks. Nowadays, examining existing relevant studies to uncover a collection of game features and approaches increases the chances of success in the exciting process. The main goal of this work is to conduct a literature evaluation utilizing descriptive statistics of game aspects in conjunction with a review technique. We looked at much research on gamification in healthcare. The viewpoint was pivoted after each publication was reviewed for the analysis, and additional analyses were done conceptcentrally. To enable the creation of more successful applications in the future, we identified individual behaviour change strategies and combinations of techniques widely employed in smartphone games. Smartphone games that attempt to change people's health habits are widespread, although the methods for doing so are unclear. We examined the integrated behaviour modification strategies in health applications with gaming aspects in a systematic way.
