EncoreLife: A Gamified Platform to Enhance Older Adults' Social Connections and Daily Life Struct...
summary
A gamified mobile system called EncoreLife app is built to help new retirees regain routine and social ties using the Gamification Octalysis framework and three concrete components: collaborative local activities, hybrid social interaction, and integrated activity management with calendar syncing. A preliminary usability study with four participants finds that social group features, leaderboards and rewards (badges points and coupons) are the most valued elements and participants report increased collaboration and motivation. Future work scales participants and measures psychological outcomes longitudinally.
