this can lead to more detailed recommendations for
game design, and to 3) apply the design
recommendations in practice to evaluate to measure
their effectiveness in engaging the target group to the
healthcare application. Furthermore, we aim to
investigate if certain domains are more important than
others to the overall engagement when developing a
strategy for game design. In future work we aim to
respond to any differences that may be found in
preferences for children with or without chronic
conditions, in order to predict which strategies may
be successful for these children based on game
preferences, besides attitude or different physical
capabilities.
