“…Activities related to training range from patient education (Theng et al, 2015) and health education in schools (Haruna et al, 2018) to training professionals either at universities (Lemermeyer & Sadesky, 2016) or in their practice as resident physicians (Nevin et al, 2014). Additionally, although to a lesser extent, gamification practices in the literature appear to promote other professional activities, such as handwashing (Lapao et al, 2015) and research (Sardi et al, 2017b). From our point of view, there are other activities in the healthcare field that could be gamified.…”

This research aims to advance the understanding of gamification in health care management using a systematic review of the literature through a multiphase analysis. To do so, first, we extract the relevant bibliographic data for our research according to a methodology of data generation structured in six stages and a descriptive analysis oriented to the technical characterization of the data. Then, we codify all the information, identify the main attributes with the collaboration of two independent experts and check their validity using the evaluation of two focus groups of professionals in gamification and health care management. We found seven attributes: (1) health care users, (2) psychology, (3) behavior, (4) activities, (5) health field, (6) technology, and (7) gamification elements. Within each of these seven attributes, there are a series of main elements that are detailed in the following for each of them. (1) Health care users: their age and the role they play in the health system. (2) Psychology: cognition, positive and negative emotions. (3) Behavior: healthy behavior encouragement, such as compliance, collaboration and responsibility. (4) Activities: physical activity and food. (5) Health field: preventive medicine and chronic diseases. (6) Technology: cell phones. (7) Gamification elements: different elements, but the number of articles in which these elements and their interactions are studied in depth is limited. Our results point toward a promising present and future research agenda that is in parallel with the development of relevant fields for the sector, such as chronic diseases, health education and preventive medicine.

“…In addition, the created software is easily adaptable to exercises for the upper body as well, since it defines exercise mechanics that have been verified with a healthcare professional. Lastly, Sardi (2017) examined the gamification components and functions of the available mobile blood donation applications.…”

Technology plays a vital role in the healthcare industry. Consequently, digital health care is gaining momentum, which brings forth the usage of gamification for predictive/preventive care, diagnosis, therapy and palliative care for patients and non-patients. Gamification is also applied for educational purposes, patient monitoring, medical adherence and professional training in the health sector. Digital health games promise to address a broad audience with quick and easy accessibility but are not competent enough to ensure users' long-term motivation and engagement. This paper focuses on the classification of digital health games, their implementation areas, the strategies and factors that contribute to successful digital health games and their effects on health behaviour change.

“…More recently, social media and innovative mobile health applications have emerged as high-value tools to raise awareness and mobilize donors. 48,49 Even in settings where healthcare facilities are easy to access, few will make a trip to donate blood. 50 Mobile donation sites in high-traffic areas and through outreach efforts not only reduce geographic barriers to donation but can also serve to educate the public about blood donation and have a record of success across high-income settings.…”

Assessing the global burden of hemorrhage: The global blood supply, deficits, and potential solutions

et al. 2021

There is a critical shortage of blood available for transfusion in many low- and middle-income countries. The consequences of this scarcity are dire, resulting in uncounted morbidity and mortality from trauma, obstetric hemorrhage, and pediatric anemias, among numerous other conditions. The process of collecting blood from a donor to administering it to a patient involves many facets from donor availability to blood processing to blood delivery. Each step faces particular challenges in low- and middle-income countries. Optimizing existing strategies and introducing new approaches will be imperative to ensure a safe and sufficient blood supply worldwide.
