Contributions to Patient Engagement in Smart Healthcare: the Usage of Hybrid Systems Integrating Artificial Intelligence - Driven Adaptation with Traditional Gamification Mechanics

This paper proposes a hybrid Artificial Intelligence-gamification model and algorithm designed to enhance patient education and engagement in smart healthcare applications and systems, with a broader application in general e-Learning and classical educational environments. By seamlessly integrating traditional gamification elements and Artificial Intelligence driven personalization of rewarding systems. The primary contribution is the development of an algorithm that optimizes user engagement in the educational process. The algorithm lays the groundwork for future applications that promote self-directed learning.
