GameBus is a novel app, developed within a multinationality\u00a0collaboration. The app engages families and friends to stay active physically,\u00a0cognitively and socially via an enjoyable personalized gaming experience. GameBus connects\u00a0children, colleagues, the elderly and other family members to join physical, cognitive and\u00a0social challenges, and it is unique because it crosses the boundaries of existing health apps.\u00a0The app was not designed explicitly for people with intellectual disabilities. However, some\u00a0issues (e.g., social isolation, insufficient physical exercise, etc.) play a role in the care for people\u00a0with intellectual disabilities, as they do in care for the elderly. Therefore, it is worthwhile to\u00a0investigate if health-rewarding apps like GameBus can play a role within healthcare\u00a0organizations for people with intellectual disabilities. Via this master thesis project, it has been\u00a0examined which clients are eligible for GameBus and how the app might be used in the future.\u00a0The findings and experiences of clients and client supervisors with the application of GameBus\u00a0are presented. Three promising use cases were found in which GameBus can play a role.\u00a0GameBus is a valuable way to motivate and stimulate clients to perform physical, social,\u00a0cognitive and other (e.g., domestic) activities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Monday, February 15th, 2016, Maarten Kooijman will defend his master thesis entitled &#8220;The potential of a mobile health\u00a0rewarding app (GameBus) for\u00a0people with \u00a0Intellectual\u00a0disabilities&#8221;. \u00a0Everyone is\u00a0cordially invited to join to learn, ask questions and give feedback.
