Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Gamified systems using mobile phones or activity trackers can encompass practically all trackable everyday activity, unlike health games requiring people to add dedicated time and space to their life.

    “Gamified systems using mobile phones or activity trackers can encompass practically all trackable everyday activity, unlike health games requiring people to add dedicated time and space to their life (Munson et al., 2015).”

  • Gamified systems can intrinsically motivate the initiation and continued performance of health and well-being behaviours.

    “Like games, gamified systems can intrinsically motivate the initiation and continued performance of health and well-being behaviours (Deterding, 2015b for similar arguments regarding gamification in general; King et al., 2013, Munson et al., 2015, Pereira et al., 2014; cf. Seaborn and Fels, 2015, Sola et al., 2015).”

  • Current health gamification domains cover all major chronic health risks: physical activity, diet and weight management, medication adherence, rehabilitation, mental well-being, drug use, and patient activation around chronic diseases like diabetes, cancer, or asthma.

  • Retro-fitting existing health systems and enhancing new ones with an engaging 'game layer' may be faster, more cost-benefit efficient, and more scalable than the development of full-fledged health games.

    “Retro-fitting existing health systems and enhancing new ones with an engaging “game layer” may be faster, most cost-benefit efficient, and more scalable than the development of full-fledged health games (Munson et al., 2015, Sawyer, 2014).”

    From Gamification for health and wellbeing: A systematic review of the literature (2016) · cites this paper as Munson et al., 2015

  • Most health games are delivered through a dedicated device like a game console and require users to create committed spaces and times for gameplay, which often clashes with people's varied access to technology, daily routines, and schedules.

    “A second adoption hurdle is that most health games are delivered through a dedicated device like a game console, and require users to create committed spaces and times in their life for gameplay. This demand often clashes with people's varied access to technology, their daily routines and rituals, as well as busy and constantly shifting schedules (Munson et al., 2015).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
