Compliance in physical exercise, physical therapy and cognitive training is poor — few Canadian children meet national activity guidelines, and many patients fail to complete their physiotherapy. Digital games are tremendously popular with the majority of adult Canadians and almost all children. By adding game-like elements to daily activities, G4HLTH aims to increase people’s motivation to initiate and adhere to healthy behaviors.
