Editor's Notes

  • #3: leaderboards achievement badges, achievement levels, progess bars Definition of gamification:油 integrating game dynamics into your site,油 service, community, content or campaign,油 in order to drive participation,油 engagement, and behavior change.油 油 I think everyone agrees that gamificaiton hit the spotlight when location based services employed them and Foursquare often gets credit as the pioneer. --------------- StackOverflow much better use of points - results in contract and jobs What does good news look like? Gamification, the use of game design techniques and mechanics in non-gaming environments to drive engagement with your brand, started generating a buzz internationally in 2010 ocation-based platforms such as油 Facebook 's "Place" feature,油 Foursquare (social network) , and油 Gowalla . [6] 油Some of the techniques include: achievement "badges" achievement levels "leader boards" a油 progress bar 油or other visual meter to indicate how close people are to completing a task a company is trying to encourage, such as completing a social networking profile or earning a frequent shopper loyalty award. [7] virtual currency systems for awarding, redeeming, trading, gifting, and otherwise exchanging points challenges between users embedding small油 casual games 油within other activities. [4 Why Gamification is exploding, Gen-Y and the Social Beast NPR - Gamifying the system to create better behaviour油 I've even more interested in RightBonus after hearing油 yesterday's NPR story on Gamification . The example they brought up is getting points for油 not 油doing something in addition to doing something. eg. In our world, points for not committing code that breaks the continuous integration. Or points for no botched home installs in Halo's case. The SAPS (status, access, power and stuff) thing is very interesting too. Definitely listen and read if you haven't already.
  • #4: How can we take the fun and interactivity and bring it into healthcare? While the consumer is paying for the emergency response pice, the vitals signs vitals, heartrate, skin temperature are an ADDED BONUS Like most health tech companies, we're not going to rely on gamification as our core competency Fall prevention on why it's so important.油 ------- I work for a company that makes "I've fallen and I can't get up" 2.0 systems. Which means we detect falls from motions and provide other vitals such heartrate, pedometer, and activity. We're delivering all these cool vitals in the world of panic buttons? So can we apply gamification to health?
  • #5: Not just fun and interactivty: One of approaches where considering is gamification but there is an overacching problem: "How do we engage and even motiavate"? ----- At Halo, we're trying to solve a problem that many consumer health tech companies are trying to solve. Including device companies like ours and more importantly personal health record (PHR) the one of the problem isn't providing data tools, the problem is engagement.油
  • #6: What better place to start than the PHR? Health tech's saviour油 As you many of you may have heard, Google Health decided to call it quits recently.油 Why? In a sentence, Adam Bosworth said, Its not social. Wired > connected interactions I pesonally don't think that's the entire picture.油Even 2 or 3 years ago at the health tech conference, I would hear油 Google executives constantly preach that health needs to be fun.油 PHRs really have no incentive to make their data portable for patient retention. Some of them have propietary PHRS. 油 With the provider's fee for service model, there really is no incentive to make sense of the data, let alone make it fun. Whether it's a油proprietary油provider PHR or a provider independent PHR油like Google,油PHRs deliver bad and boring news. ---------------- Wired Magazine recently published an article that one of the three reasons they failed were no "connected interactions"油 -------------- http://techcrunch.com/2011/06/24/google-health-bosworth-social/ First, people are not really interested in entering information at a website unless they get value in return. And gathering personal health information from many different sources and entering it in an online database can be time-consuming and tedious. Dossia works with employers to pre-populate their employees health records with information from their group health plans. Second, Google Health failed because Google did not offer tools that allowed people to put their health information to good use. One of the greatest needs is for comparative pricing tools for purchasing medical services. Third, Internet consumers expect connected interactions that create real economic value. If Google Health offered such interactions, more people would have found a way to use the service--even if it meant arduously pre-populating an online record. For example, what if Google Health had a tool that allowed individuals to compare their own medical bills to those of others with health records stored on Google Health (anonymously, of course)? Or what if Google Health had a tool that searched for better deals from medical providers based on the aggregated experiences and claims of other health care consumers in the same geographic area?
  • #7: PHR side Nudge isn't enough Out of context (total carlorie count) not shown Anonymity doesn't work. 油 The author of the book Nudge serves in the Obama White House and there's a nudge unit on the British prime minister's cabinet Is 'Nudging' Really Enough? Calorie printing law would keep 150,000 New Yorkers from becoming obese anonymous and data not meaningful and not in contest: 297 calories is good or bad? meaningful > total calorie in context ----- The influence of behavioral economics is already visible in the halls of power. Cass Sunstein, a Harvard legal scholar and co-author of "Nudge," a best-selling survey of the field, is serving in Barack Obama's White House. British Prime Minister David Cameron, meanwhile, has established a "nudge unit" in his Cabinet office and regularly consults leading academics in the field. Consider the new regulations in New York City requiring restaurants to list the calorie content of all menu items. (Similar regulations were part of the 2010 federal health-care reform legislation.) Although proponents of the law hoped that the extra information would lead consumers to shy away from Caramel Macchiatos and McGriddle sandwichesofficials estimated that, over a five-year period, the law would keep 150,000 New Yorkers from becoming obesethat hasn't happened. Instead, initial analyses by researchers at New York University and Yale have found that, since the law was enacted, the average restaurant-goer has actually been purchasing slightly more calories.

  • #8: With both PHR data and public health data, really what we're trying to do is change ingrained behaviour油 We are now developing a semantic web and gamification is big part of that. Gamification油is a "Means to an end" There's nothing new about 3 steps as they have been problem. But the difference now is the internet and n ow we can deliver small fine grained information instantaneously with a nice user interface due to the internet. The first wave of the internet was store and油retrieving油data. And the second wave is making it meaninful and semantic. And last the internet obviously allows to scale these things quickly to massive porportions ------------- #7 is the most applicable to health Why is behviour just now being studied by stanford. Well, my feeling is that following are much more manageable and interactive with the web and mobile apps 1. baby steps 2. triggers 3. new behaviors Why doesn't data alone work? Because油 changing your ingrained behaviors may be the hardest thing youll ever do .

Thats step 1 to a better future. #2 Attempting big leaps instead of baby steps Seek tiny successes, one after another. #3 Ignoring how environment shapes behaviors油 Change your context & you change your life. #4 Trying to stop old behaviors instead of creating new ones.油 Focus on action, not avoidance #5 Blaming failures on lack of motivation油 Solution: Make the behavior easier to do. #6 Underestimating the power of triggers.油 No behavior happens without a trigger. #7 Believing that information leads to action.油 We humans arent so rational. #8 Focusing on abstract goals more than concrete behaviors.油 Abstract: Get in Shape Concrete: Walk 15 minutes today. #9 Seeking to change a behavior forever, not for a short time. A fixed period works better than forever #10 Assuming the behavior change is difficult.油 Behavior change is not so hard when you have the right process油 Weve spent time learning about true behavioral change because we think its what people need in an ocean of flawed quick fixes. Were committed to continually embedding the latest science and understanding about creating lasting positive behaviors into all of our products.

The internet can no deliver the information around games effectively especially now with mobile devices.油 SAPS stands for status, access, power and stuff. Zichermann says those are things people want in their lives as rewards in that order. "It turns out," he says, "that cash isn't that good of a reward. Status is a fantastic motivator for getting people to do stuff." Take油 The Biggest Loser . In the popular NBC reality show, an activity that's normally thought of as embarrassing and private is made public. The contestants are given nominal rewards, and after being put through the ringer, Zichermann says, they lose weight. "What's interesting about油 Biggest Loser 油and other gamified examples of weight loss is they hew to a model for user rewards that I call SAPS," he says. http://blog.dietpicture.com/post/3221222223/apps-to-share-your-pride-at-the-gym http://www.npr.org/2011/03/27/134866003/gamifying-the-system-to-create-better-behavior I've even more interested in RightBonus after hearing油 yesterday's NPR story on Gamification .

A few hours of raking leaves might build up points that can be used in a gardening game. And the games induce people to earn more points, which means repeating good behaviors. The idea, Krejcarek says, is to create a bridge between the real world and the virtual world. This has all got to be fun. startup incubator > greengoose in providence Facebook news food.

The sessions began with balance tests, on either one or both legs. Everyone balanced well on two legs, but to the surprise of both subjects and scientists, the elderly volunteers performed rather poorly during the single-legged tests, said Caroline Ketcham, Ph.D., an assistant professor at Elon University and lead author of the study. They thought they were in good shape and had good balance. It scared them a bit, frankly, to see how awful their balance really was.
