Gamified Health Solutions: A Systematic Literature Review

Gamification is a modern method that seeks to influence wellness and health-related frameworks positively. It is not just because gamified solutions can get individuals more engaged but can make them more responsible for their health-related assessments. This paper qualitatively analyzes the concept of the gamified solution in healthcare through systematic literature review by using PRISMA methodology to figure out the health domains and the impact on solicitation of gamification in the healthcare sector. According to WHO, non-communicable diseases (NCDs) kill 41 million people each year, equivalent to 71% of global mortality, which can be controlled through modifiable behavior. Studies proved that intrinsic motivation had got an advantage over extrinsic motivation in the case of health behaviors. Gamification is considered as a solution for motivating people both intrinsically and extrinsically. The need for more research on gamified intervention in health care still remains as a gap. The article attempts to review more about gamification as health solutions, focusing more on research articles reported in Emerald Insight and Science Direct.
