In a Nutshell
At RMIT University's GEElab, we are researching how game design thinking can positively affect and alter architecture & urbanism, mobility, popular media, storytelling, engagement, other sciences as well as society itself.
A collaborative initiative between GEElab Melbourne and the Charles Perkins Centre at University of Sydney, DIAmate is a gameful approach to enhancing diabetes type 2 patient compliance with treatment regimes.
The trailer animation and early prototypes have been developed as a gameful smartphone companion application addressing issues of isolation, medication, exercise, understanding and self-esteem.
Utilising social networking mechanisms and game thinking, users interface with the virtual DIAmate world through real time activities and connections with other users.
