Effect of a Digital Health Physical Activity Program Integrating Gamification for Obesity Management in Comparison With Usual Care: Randomized Controlled Trial With an Ideographic Approach
This study demonstrates the potential of digital gamified interventions to promote and sustain physical activity, offering an alternative to face-to-face programs. However, individual heterogeneity in the response to the intervention highlights the need for screening tools and tailored approaches. Further large-scale studies are warranted to evaluate the long-term clinical and economic impact of such interventions.
