Investigating the potential of Interactive Media to Encourage Engagement with Type 1 Diabetes Management
Borsboom, A.S.
The effective management of type 1 diabetes is very challenging for a number of people. Improving the management skills of those suffering with the disease is even more so due to the sheer number of Type 1 diabetes sufferers. We believe that a serious video game which targets diabetes education has the potential to significantly improve the management of Type 1 Diabetes. In light of this we have developed a series of game mechanics which are able to represent Type 1 Diabetes management in a video game. We have developed a prototype video game to demonstrate the effectiveness of these game mechanics, and we have identified potential areas of future development in this field.
