S3E1: Dr. Alexander Fanaroff＜＞Gamification and Financial Incentives, Motivating More Movement for Healthy Hearts

We're back! Series 3 of Health Points is here.

To kick off Series 3, we have an exceptional episode with Dr. Alexander Fanaroff, Assistant Professor of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania.

In this episode, we talk through Alexander's pioneering and insightful study: The Effect of Gamification, Financial Incentives, or Both to Increase Physical Activity Among Patients at High Risk of Cardiovascular Events: The BE ACTIVE Randomised Contrlled Trial.

Alexander is a medical doctor of interventional cardiology and Assistant Professor of Medicine in the Division of Cardiology at the University of Pennsylvania. He has a specific interest in increasing physical activity in patients with cardiovascular disease, with a keen interest in the role of gamification to achieve this.

In this episode, we explore:

  1. The benefits of physical activity for people living with cardiovascular disease, with benefits far outweighing the risks
  2. The BE ACTIVE study highlights the role of gamification, financial incentives or both to overcome the motivational barriers for people living with a health condition to move more.
  3. And that self-setting goals and being accountable to the reaching goals (to ones self and to others) works.
