“…Gamification in the work environment is extremely different from that related to the consumer, online or internet community. Therefore, we must fully understand and recognize the advantages and disadvantages of the gamification process and we must especially understand that it should not be seen as a solution proper, but rather, as a tool that has positive and negative effects on the workforce (Prakash and Rao, 2015). Most of the research described above has neglected the advantages of designing the gamification based on UX factors.…”

Healthy living applications have been proposed as an ideal tool for behavior change. The use of gamification in healthcare interventions is gaining popularity, but there is still a need to clarify how to employ the benefit of this technology for managing children's behavior. This paper proposes a new approach for mapping Gamification Mechanism (GM) to User Behavior Techniques (UBTs) considering User Experience (UX) factors. The reason for this mapping is to provide a list of recommendations for the gamification designers to include new design features in designing and developing the user interface for mobile games to sustain user engagement and to keep using the game for the benefit of changing behavior. The proposed design aims to provide a solution for both the provider (designer) and consumer (user) of the healthcare application. The benefits of the proposed approach help to increase the usability, awareness and attention of the user through engaging in the gamification.
