Game design and e-health: serious games put to the test.
Memorable experiences deliver intense usable moments with the support of different platforms and social networks. Higher degrees of motivation ensure efficiency and performance. Serious games deliver powerful and truthful experiences by providing the user with goals, challenges, problem-solving, and rules, besides a clear internal value and an interactive experience. Our software and hardware-based tools should have the power to teach and change us, while making us better problem-solvers and professionals.
