dc.description.abstract | We can think of our life with mobile technology as a constant classroom and learning environment. Mobile Fitness is a prototype application which will be used by newly diagnosed Multiple Sclerosis patients. The application uses the theory of fun and engagement to keep the user interested and motivated to complete daily workouts. Mobile Fitness uses these game based learning characteristics and human centered design to better suit the user. Recreational therapy also integrates well with gamification because both can be considered with the same end goals in mind. Successful completion of tasks with a reward. | en_US |
