Research abstract
NAPP is a 3rd person 3D role-playing adventure gaming app built for Android and iOS platforms. NAPP integrates real-world data from current health management systems and offers interactive feedback about own behaviors as part of an engaging game storyline. The game integrates evidence-based psychological theories of behavioral change and provides individually tailored feedback. Sleep hygiene knowledge is presented as integral part of the overall game narrative.NAPP recognizes small changes in behaviors, encourages and uses stage-matched communication strategies known to bypass social stigma and social desirability. It is a very cost-effective, completely unobtrusive solution, not requiring additional wearables or devices, but capitalizes on already in-use apps/devices/wearables based on personal preferences. NAPP is designed to meet motivational needs, increasing game presence and enjoyment.
