According to healthcare providers, changing lifestyle is increasing the incidence of severe chronic diseases and mental disorders, even at a young age. As a result, as people become more conscious and put more effort into maintaining their health, they are increasingly using gamified solutions to monitor their health and overall vitality. The stigma associated with mental health is also dissolving, and people are becoming more aware of their own mental health. Such factors are driving the demand for healthcare gamification market during the forecast period.
People in rural and semi-urban areas are unaware of healthcare gamification apps and tools owing to the low penetration and lack of knowledge & education. Besides, some apps and tools do just not collect information about health and fitness, they also collect data about your location, browsing history, emails, location, and many more data, thereby hampering user privacy. Such factors are expected to hinder the growth of the global healthcare gamification market.
Games in healthcare applications are not merely for entertainment and patient motivation, they are also used for educating and channeling information about diseases between patients and medical practitioners. These games are developed using innovative computer technologies, which can educate patients about the side effect of medicines and diseases through simulation. Growing awareness and penetration of games in the healthcare sector will provide growth opportunities in the coming years.
The COVID-19 pandemic hampered the supply chain of many industrial sectors due to restrictions imposed by several countries to combat the spread of coronavirus. However, the demand for games in healthcare applications grew, as medical practitioners were using mobile apps, games, and other tools to treat patients. During the COVID-19 pandemic, some healthcare gamification companies aimed to evaluate serious games as an effective healthcare tool for teaching adults about COVID-19 prevention measures. Hundreds of apps have been developed in recent years that have used the most basic gamification strategies to encourage users to improve their health. For example, Clinicoin, a UK-based start-up, rewards patients with cryptocurrency when they follow recommended health steps such as regular check-ups and exercise. As a result, COVID-19 has had a positive effect on the healthcare gamification market.
