ABSTRACT
Heart failure is a complex, chronic disease that requires self-care to manage, and patients need support and education to perform adequate self-care. Although electronic health interventions to support behavior change and self-care in cardiovascular disease are gaining traction, there is little engaging online education specifically designed for heart failure patients. This paper describes the design and development of a heart failure self-care patient education Web site that integrated gamification, meaning the use of game design elements in a non-game context. We sought feedback on the Web site from a group of heart failure clinicians in a focus group using a semi-structured interview guide, and data were analyzed thematically. Clinician input during the design phase touched on themes such as patients' decision-making in heart failure and older adults' adoption of technology. Clinicians recommended that a narrative gamification technique should reflect real-life dilemmas patients encounter in their self-care. Clinicians also discussed the need to carefully plan reward-based gamification techniques to avoid unintended effects. Overall, a gamified Web site has the potential to support heart failure self-care, but efforts are needed to address the disparity of those with limited computer literacy or access.
