In GameUp we apply technologies that have proved
to be effective in modifying behaviours by engaging
and motivating users:
• By using persuasive technologies, serious games
and social computing.
• We use these technologies to promote
mobility by encouraging elderly persons to be
more physical active and motivating them to move
more, thus increasing their self-efficacy.
