CardioCare Quest: A Co-created Game for Improving Hypertension Treatment Compliance in Arizona
Sponsor: Northern Arizona University
Summary
This project aims to address healthcare disparities among Navaho people diagnosed with hypertension or prehypertension through three main objectives. Firstly, it identifies and shares insights on healthcare access disparities affecting Navaho individuals experiencing nonadherence to hypertension treatment. Secondly, the proposal develops a telehealth solution based on factors identified as knowledge gaps caused by healthcare access disparities in hypertension management; we will use the factors to design a series of engaging minigames that can be incorporated into the larger CardioCare Quest. These minigames will be co-designed with end users and clinicians. Finally, the proposal conducts comprehensive qualitative and quantitative assessments of user experiences, perceptions, and challenges with CardioCare Quest.

CardioCare Quest
CardioCare Quest will be the first telehealth game designed to enhance High Blood Pressure (HBP) treatment compliance and education about HBP, featuring a telemetry system that provides physicians and researchers data about sustainable healthy heart lifestyles beyond the clinic. The novelty of CardioCare Quest lies in its ability to compel HBP patients to playfully celebrate the mundane everyday practices that lead to sustainable habits and improved health outcomes using culturally sensitive and community-based design practices.
