What is this MINDSHOP about?
Do you know the difference between mHealth gaming and gamified mHealth? Gamification refers to methodologies on how to booth engagement and retention for a specific purpose. In this sharing TechTalk, we shall discuss how gamification can be integrated into the mobile health solutions: challenges and opportunities
We will dive deeper into the several ways to gamify a health app:
- Set goals and challenges: By setting specific goals and challenges for users to complete, you can encourage them to engage with the app on a regular basis. For example, you could set a daily step goal and allow users to earn points or rewards for reaching it.
- Use a points or rewards system: A points or rewards system can be a powerful motivator for users. You can allow users to earn points for completing challenges or meeting their goals, which they can then redeem for prizes or rewards.
- Use leaderboards: Leaderboards can be a fun way to encourage competition among users and keep them engaged. You could create a leaderboard for the most steps taken, the most challenges completed, or other health-related metrics.
- Use gamification elements: Elements like progress bars, unlockable achievements, and power-ups can make using the app feel more like a game and keep users motivated to continue using it.
- Make it fun: Above all, make sure the app is fun to use. This can involve using interactive elements, engaging graphics and animations, and overall making the experience enjoyable for users.
