ABOUT THE INNOVATION: Gamification is the use of game design techniques and mechanics to optimally connect with, engage, and modify the behaviors of audiences in an otherwise non-‐gaming environment. In the case of healthcare applications, gamification transforms basic messaging and campaigning to encourage users to make the right decisions and participate in desired behaviors for improved health and wellness. How might we gamify healthcare to improve outcomes and even save lives? We’ll showcase some examples of gamification in our exhibit today.
