If you’re looking for more information ...Hey John,<br /><br />If you’re looking for more information about health gamification, we’ve got loads of videos and articles on the subject on our website. We will also answer any questions you may have about how social games and gamified health apps can improve patient engagement and health outcomes. <br /><br />Furthermore, we have also done a considerable amount of work gamifying the Personal Health Record platform for a PHR service offered by some of the largest employers in the United States. <br /><br />Let's talk! Email me at shehani@ayogo.com or visit our website ayogo.com for more info about us.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />ShehaniAyogo Gameshttp://ayogo.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4384692836709903146.post-71872500551285834222012-05-15T07:22:17.885-07:002012-05-15T07:22:17.885-07:00Game Modeling, or creating a game-like experience ...Game Modeling, or creating a game-like experience is something that can be both intellectually rewarding and professionally satisfying. Take a look at <a href="http://www.ted.com/talks/jane_mcgonigal_gaming_can_make_a_better_world.html" rel="nofollow">Jane MCGonical's research</a> into how humans approach challenges in games vs. challenges in the real world. Why is it that at work we get stressed out when a challenge approaches, yet when we're playing a game our brain kicks on the 'Oh boy! Let's figure this out!" mode? How can more of the latter happen in our professional environments?ckoernerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16960095664367477136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4384692836709903146.post-89209711625398372302012-05-14T14:08:31.915-07:002012-05-14T14:08:31.915-07:00To descend into making information gathering a gam...To descend into making information gathering a game and only worthwhile if it is made entertaining is no substitute for professional satisfaction. It should be easily usable and let each user promote their own style of data gathering and analysis. Prepackaging it makes a system for everyone that is good for no one.Donald Green MDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14072082338456316544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4384692836709903146.post-2248677187759547802012-05-14T13:37:33.917-07:002012-05-14T13:37:33.917-07:00I completely agree.

Gamify the world; it'll be a better place!<br /><br />What I've noticed in my short "game" thus far is that the hamster wheel of getting healthy is not so much fun. In fact it very well may be the main reason that knowledge does not change behavior. Add levels, badges, warnings, multi-player health goals, and some incentives like $30/health gear at a sports shop and I'm all in.<br /><br />Then again it - feels a little Orwellian if you draw a B line to the inevitable misuse and exploitation of these systems. I'll personally accept the risk for a healthier planet myself, but we need to continue to pursue even more patient empowerment into auditing the controls for PHI on such systems.CJ Daileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08624151748234535593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4384692836709903146.post-45596356391151869882012-05-14T10:53:20.204-07:002012-05-14T10:53:20.204-07:00Dr. Halamka,
