Abstract

The fusion of Gaming in wellness or healthcare with Digital Therapeutics (DTx) is emerging in today’s world. The problem statement captures the game-changing potential to merging gaming and DTx to offer or enhance innovative solutions for personal health. DTx is a software-based treatment or intervention designed to treat medical conditions based on the patient’s evidence. In scenarios like managing calcium intake to prevent kidney stones, these solutions actively promote patient engagement in monitoring and improving their dietary choices. The creative approach of fusing Gaming with DTx in this tech-driven world uses gaming features to boost the overall patient’s well-being. By employing the preceded mentioned method, we gain insights into maintaining a healthy balance of calcium intake, effectively mitigating the risk of developing kidney stones. Through the integration of gaming and healthcare, our goal is to pioneer inventive solutions that facilitate the enjoyment and effectiveness of health management practices. The current technological landscape incorporates educational components infused with gaming elements on platforms, facilitating users’ understanding of nutrition and offering tailored guidance on calcium intake. This approach involves crafting user-centric games with individualized health objectives, amplifying patient involvement. The objective is to revolutionize how people perceive healthcare self-management, rendering it captivating, interactive, and accessible to diverse demographics. This innovative amalgamation holds the potential to revolutionize and prioritize health, not solely by enhancing enjoyment but also by fostering tangible health benefits, paving the way for a healthier global populace. Throughout this paper, we utilize our proposed model, the Therapeutic Wellness Gaming Model (TWGM), to delve into the convergence of gaming and healthcare within the realm of Digital Therapeutics.
