RESUMO
Treatment non-adherence poses a sizeable and persistent challenge to health professionals. In the US alone, it is estimated that at least $100 billion per year is spent on avoidable health care costs with an additional $230 billion per year forfeited due to lost productivity. Efforts to increase adherence have yielded mixed results. We present an adaptable, theoretical framework that uses established gamification methods coupled with a means of motivating patients using real-world rewards. The framework presented herein is implemented via user interface modifications to a clinically validated health tracking app, as well as a means of delivering video feedback for viewing a variety of potential reward outcomes.
