David has been involved in fascinating research on gamification for health professions and other big projects such as: the training of health care professionals in geriatric care; the conversion of undergraduate degree courses into gamified systems; and the gamification of drug addiction management.
In today's episode we discuss such questions as:
- What benefits does gamification provide for health care, higher education and addiction treatment?
- Who is doing the cutting edge of research in Canada in this field?
- Which projects are you currently working on?
- What is the current priority in gamification research?
- Do gamified courses provide any measurable advantages for students?
- What is the future of gamification in higher education?
His current research focus is on game-based systems to increase social connectedness in seniors and the development of mastery-based systems for the improvement of cognitive performance and behavioral change in medicine. He is currently engaged in studies in the use of serious games in seniors education and social connectedness funded through Simon Fraser University and a study in the use of serious games in the management of adolescent addiction funded by the College of Family Physicians.
