Motivation is a major factor of health behaviour change, and intrinsically motivated behaviour change is desirable as i tis both sustained and directly contributes to well-being. This raises the immediate question what kind of interventions are best positioned to intrinsically motivate health behaviour change. The current state of evidence supports that gamificationcan have a positive impact in health and wellbeing. In recente years, games and game technology have been used quite widely to investigate if they can help make rehabilitation more engaging for users. The underlying hypothesis is that the motivating qualities of games may be harnesses and embedded into a game-based rehabilitation system to improve the quality of user participation.
