“…Of the 62 studies, eight studies involved domain experts during both the Problem Definitionand Product Design Phase. Four studies involved mainly designers and domain experts as stakeholders in the Problem Definition Phase and designers, domain experts and end-users in Embodiment of the Product Design Phase [38,[40][41][42], for example, by observing end-users and giving cultural probes (ambiguous stimuli and assignments that bring inspiration to design) to domain experts and relatives [42]. Two other studies included stakeholders, mainly designers and domain experts, in the Problem Definition Phase and Ideation of the Product Design Phase [5,6], by letting end-users test game scenarios that were designed by domain experts and designers.…”

“…A total of 40 studies focused on health related transfer effects, which was often assessed by questionnaires and tests (N = 26) and sometimes by physiological measures (e.g., heart rate) (N = 7). In general, data was obtained at pre-post [36,40,52,62,79] or during and after interaction with the product [44,53]. Because the duration of the studies were heterogeneous [45,54,73,83], it is hard to compare these results.…”

Personalization, the involvement of stakeholders in the design process, is often applied in serious game design for health. It is expected to enhance the alignment of a game to the preferences and capacities of the end-user, thereby increasing the end-user’s motivation to interact with the game, which finally might enhance the aimed-for health effects of the game. However, the nature and effect of personalization have never been systematically studied, making assumptions regarding personalization ungrounded. In this literature review, we firstly provide a proposal of our Personalized Design Process-model, where personalization is defined as stakeholder involvement in the Problem Definition-, Product Design- and/or Tailoring Phase. Secondly, we conducted a systematic literature review on this model, focusing on health and its effects. In this review, 62 of the 2579 found studies were included. Analysis showed that a minority of the studies were of methodologically higher quality and some of these tested the health effect by contrasting tailored versus non-tailored games. Most studies involved stakeholders in the Tailoring Design Phase. Therefore, we conclude that involving stakeholders in the Tailoring Phase is valuable. However, to know if personalization is effective in the Product Design- and the Problem Definition Phase, more studies are needed.

“…Functional prototypes are useful for communicating requirements to a development team and the iterative approach is useful where organizations lack knowledge of another's area of expertise [32]. Organizations can play a role by fostering a collaborative spirit and providing the physical tools needed [33].…”

Abstract. This paper describes the methodology and results from a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) of the software processes used in game development. A total of 404 papers were analyzed as part of the review and the various process models that are used in industry and academia/research are presented. Software Process Improvement (SPI) initiatives for game development are discussed. The factors that promote or deter the adoption of process models, and implementing SPI in practice are highlighted. Our findings indicate that there is no single model that serves as a best practice process model for game development and it is a matter of deciding which model is best suited for a particular game. Agile models such as Scrum and XP are suited to the knowledge intensive domain of game development where innovation and speed to market are vital. Hybrid approaches such as reuse can also be suitable for game development where the risk of the upfront investment in terms of time and cost is mitigated with a game that has stable requirements and a longer lifespan.

“…In addition to these research-focused applications, the past decade has borne a number of commercial fitness gaming systems, such as Konami Dance Dance Revolution, Sony EyeToy, Nintendo Wii Fit, and Xbox 360 Kinect; all claim to make video gaming a more healthy and active experience. In addition to promoting general health and wellness in broad cross sections of the population, specialized applications have been developed for the purposes of stroke rehabilitation [9,11,18,38,43], physical therapy [28], mental health care [46], increasing nutrition knowledge in low-income communities [22,23,24,25], and chronic disease management for conditions such as diabetes, cystic fibrosis, and asthma [5,10,33]. Despite the creation of research and commercial systems aimed at promoting positive lifestyle changes, it has been difficult to effectively integrate them into a typical K-12 school environment.…”

With rising concerns about obesity and sedentary lifestyles in youth, there has been an increasing interest in understanding how pervasive and ubiquitous computing technologies can catalyze positive health behaviors in children and teens. School-based interventions seem like a natural choice, and ubiquitous computing technologies hold much promise for these interventions. Yet the literature contains little guidance for how to approach school-based ubicomp deployments. Grounded in our analysis of a largescale US school-based intervention for promoting youth physical activity, we present an approach to the design and evaluation of school-based ubicomp that treats the school as a social institution. We show how the school regulates students' daily lives, drawing from work in the sociology of schools to create a framing for planning, executing and analyzing school-based ubicomp deployments. These insights will assist other researchers and designers engaging in deployments of ubiquitous computing systems in settings with established institutional structures.
