The ambulance came within minutes, and the medical drones helped transport him very quickly to get adequate care. It turned out he had a stroke and his healing process will take several months. After telling him the diagnosis, his physician consulted a gamification specialist about the next steps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>He wanted him to design a treatment with the help of VR\u002FAR, in which Peter could learn to use his left hand again through a strategic computer game.

In the next days, the gamification specialist worked on streamlining an existing game to Peter’s needs. The game got ready for the day, when the physician told Peter to start the rehabilitation process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>There are millions of ways, in which gamification could make healthcare more fun and help people at the same time. It already started. Just think about Plant Nanny, the app which helps you drink the right amount of water a day by allowing you to bring up a little plant! Or remember all the fitness wearable challenges out there. Such as the ones offered by Fitbit, which urge you to stay fit by competing with your peers. But the future holds more complex issues in gamification.

Similarly, Eva and her husband had a swarm of wearables for sleep tracking, fitness activities and measuring vital health parameters.
