Gamifying Health

Games like Just Dance or Pokemon Go are certainly fun, but their potential to encourage healthier habits (e.g., moving more) can often be overlooked by a casual player of these games. On the second episode of our Digital Health series, we speak to Dr Joshua Wong to understand how games and gamification can promote desirable health behaviours. Dr Wong is an associate lecturer at SIM Global Education who has conducted research on digital telehealth and the design of serious games.
