Abstract

Although adherence is a key factor for successful treatment of chronic diseases, only about 50% of patients achieve good adherence. However, health enabling technologies and gamification offer new possibilities to enhance patient’s motivation. In physical rehabilitation, various applications exist. As these often stress a specific part of the rehabilitation process, we introduce a six-step new holistic approach to apply game design elements in the entire rehabilitation process, while focusing on patients with musculoskeletal diseases of the shoulder.
