Overview

Exploratory study evaluates engagement with gamified incentive spirometry in diverse participants, suggesting improved adherence.

Key Points

  • Evaluate the feasibility of a gamified incentive spirometry device and assess user perceptions and engagement.
  • Recruitment of 105 participants from various healthcare roles.
  • Comparison of standard incentive spirometry with the gamified ISTracker and gamification-enhanced ISTracker.
  • Surveys conducted after each device configuration to assess usability and enjoyment.
  • 90.5% found ISTracker easy to use.
  • 81% willing to use the gamified version.
  • Younger participants showed significantly greater enjoyment and preference for gamification.
