“…Along the same lines, children enjoy such stimuli and they can accomplish tasks in an easier and more pleasurable way (Stach and Schlindwein, 2012). Teachers can therefore use these games to introduce new teaching methods in order to improve student performance in the classroom.…”

Technology is now a vital part of our society and with such a significant impact on the educational system, information and communication technologies (ICT) cannot be dissociated from the educational process (Ramos and de Andrade, 2016). While the implementation of digital technologies in society and more specifically among young people represents a challenge for teachers, it might also provide the opportunity to improve academic performance. In this context, pervasive games have established a new trend and present a new way for people to interact with each other in a real environment by means of virtual worlds and the elements they bring to the table. Students are therefore able to enjoy a learning process with fun graphics on their mobile devices, as well as stories or other features common to pervasive games. In this paper, we focus our attention on the results of pervasive learning games, results which we had previously obtained from a systematic literature review (Arango-López et al., 2017a), as well as from a review of specific literature to identify different research projects for improving the learning process.

“…Carlson et al [18] O Candy Castle [20] é um o jogo sério, para web e dispositivos móveis, no qual o paciente mede o seu nível de açúcar e a análise do sangue é feita on-the-fly. Baseado no nível de açúcar é construído um castelo no mapa correspondente ao local indicado pelo GPS, no qual foi realizada a primeira leitura do nível de açúcar.…”

“…Carlson et al [18] apresentam um framework para integrar dados de diversos contextos relacionados ao monitoramento de dados vitais para dispositivos móveis que são utilizados pela aplicação LifeLogging. Candy Castle [20] utiliza o GPS para mapear os locais onde foram feitas coletas dos níveis de açúcar. AftheraGame [23] utiliza RFIDs espalhados em um AAP, no momento em que o paciente alcança um RFID específico um jogo sério terapêutico é acionado.…”

This article presents Octopus, a gamification model for assistance in ubiquitous care of chronic diseases. Octopus was projected to be generic, namely, to support any kind of disesase. Moreover, the model uses context awareness and the history of contexts visited by users (trails). This article describes the model architecture and its prototype. The prototype was tested in a simulated u-health scenario to evaluate its functionality and its potential to real applications. The results were encouraging and show potential for implementing Octopus in real-life situations. I. INTRODUÇÃO EGUNDO a Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS) em 2008 morreram em torno de 36 milhões de pessoas devido a doenças crônicas não transmissíveis (DCNTs) em todo o mundo [1]. Além disto, no lançamento do relatório de 2011 da OMS [2] a Diretora Geral da OMS, Margaret Chan, afirmou que estas doenças geram a perda de bilhões de dólares por ano e levam milhares de pessoas para abaixo da linha da pobreza. Em geral, as doenças crônicas são originadas por hábitos, como por exemplo, sedentarismo, tabagismo, entre outros, que acabam gerando "alterações metabólicas/fisiológicas", tais como, hipertensão arterial, sobrepeso e obesidade. Tanto os hábitos, quanto os resultados destes hábitos compõem os fatores de riscos que devem ser controlados como forma de prevenir casos destas doenças [3]. O tratamento para este tipo de doença deve ser contínuo, pois a maioria das DCNTs não possuem cura, desta maneira, este tipo de tratamento exige que o paciente tenha conhecimento das suas condições clínicas, bem como do tratamento determinado pelo médico responsável. Esta necessidade pode ocasionar situações que o paciente pode não estar preparado para enfrentar, ou ocasiões em que o paciente possa não ter a confiança necessária para realizar determinadas atividades e necessite da colaboração de alguém com a experiência na atividade em questão [4] [5] [6]. Para sanar estes problemas os dispositivos móveis apresentam características úteis, pois estão sempre juntos ao proprietário, possibilitando um gerenciamento contínuo, e possuem acesso à internet, viabilizando o contato com pessoas experientes em certas atividades de cuidado de DCNTs, bem como o acesso a recursos que possam auxiliar no tratamento de DCNTs através C.

“…For the monitoring of patients, there are games focusing on the treatment of overweight and sedentary people [18], as well as for the treatment of diabetes [19], in which therapists can monitor the performance of patients remotely and make recommendations. To monitoring of children while they're doing eye exam, the game PlayWithEyes [20] was made to do a pre-test and detect the children's visual acuity, so the ophthalmologist can monitor them while they're playing a ludic game which retains their attention.…”

-the usage of technologies for the treatment of patients is constantly emerging. A recent trend is the usage of games for healthcare, mainly in motor rehabilitation. The entertainment facet of the game attracts the attention of patients making them more engaged in the treatment. A difficult in the usage of commercial games is that they require full attention of the healthcare professionals, since they were not created to this purpose. To contour this kind of situation, decreasing the attention demanded by healthcare professionals, tailor-made games with monitoring capabilities have been developed. The problem with this approach is that these games falls short of entertainment, compromising their playfulness. Given this scenario, we believe that by adding monitoring capabilities to environments in which commercial games are used for health treatment is the best approach for game therapy. Therefore, it is necessary to create a mechanism that helps developers on building applications to monitoring patients' pre-determined characteristics during a gameplay. In this paper, we propose the NuSense, a sensor-based framework to support the development of applications to automatically monitoring people while they are playing electronic games as a health therapy.
