Abstract

The digital games platform NUDGE (NUtritional, Digital Games in Enable) is one of the digital nutritional communication systems within the nutrition research cluster enable. NUDGE aims at changing the nutritional behavior of adolescents using different levels of persuasion. The central platform element is a personalized avatar representing the user’s nutrition and game status as playful feedback. Additionally, real world interactions are integrated using tailored nudges, social connections, and real life challenges. Finally, different serious games, e.g. the "Fit, Food, Fun" prototype, are used to increase the user’s knowledge and capabilities regarding nutrition. The NUDGE platform is going to be evaluated in a pilot study in spring 2018.
