The interoperability of healthcare data across various systems remains a big challenge, largely attributable to the disparate data schemas and APIs in use. This study showcases the integration of a FHIR layer into GameBus, a gamified health platform, aiming to enhance its interoperability. Traditionally, GameBus has relied on proprietary data schemas and REST APIs, which restricted data exchange with other platforms.

- The study evaluates the effectiveness of personalized goal setting within gamified mobile health (mHealth) interventions aimed at promoting physical activity and reducing sedentary behavior.
- The researchers hypothesize that tailoring health goals to individuals' self-reported capabilities will make the interventions more engaging than using generic goals.
- Participants, drawn from 7 governmental organizations, took part in an 8-week campaign using an mHealth app to track activities and compete on leaderboards, with task complexity adjusted bi-weekly based on their input.
Assessing the Influence of Physical Activity Upon the Experience Sampling Response Rate on Wrist-Worn Devices.
Int J Environ Res Public Health
October 2021
The Experience Sampling Method (ESM) is gaining ground for collecting self-reported data from human participants during daily routines. An important methodological challenge is to sustain sufficient response rates, especially when studies last longer than a few days. An obvious strategy is to deliver the experiential questions on a device that study participants can access easily at different times and contexts (e.
