TinWise

Gamified Digital Solutions for Tinnitus Health Literacy

TinWise introduces a gamified element to health literacy of Tinnitus patients. A novel solution designed to enhance interaction,
engagement, and motivation. Gamification transforms the knowledge gained from the learning resources into action.

Aim

Addressing a gap in Health Literacy for Tinnitus in Europe: Studies conducted by our group via the Tin-TRAC project
revealed significant illiteracy due to the variable nature of the condition. A dedicated health literacy platform for tinnitus
addresses this challenge.

The overall goal of the Erasmus+ project TinWise is to empower Tinnitus patients through learning, transforming them into active players in the management of their condition.

As such, the main aim is to develop a gamified health literacy platform for chronic disorders with the use case of tinnitus.
Exploit gamification principles to increase motivation and transform knowledge in an activity. Use Co-creation principles to
develop games with equal gender representation among patients for solutions that retain motivation to learn and ensure
inclusivity.

Objectives

Addressing health literacy disparities identified in EU regarding Tinnitus
Empowering tinnitus patients by deploying a health literacy platform with gamified content, that is co-created with patients and health experts
Pan-european accessibility: TinWise provides an open and accessible solution for citizens and patients throughout the EU. It facilitates cross-border collaboration, enabling the exchange of health information and promoting a unified approach to health literacy on a European scale.

Addressing general health literacy challenges: TinWise responds to the pervasive challenge of limited health literacy highlighted by the European Health Literacy Study (HLS-EU).
Empowering health professionals: TinWise recognizes the need to educate health professionals in promoting health literacy and fostering active patient engagement. The project equips healthcare professionals with the skills to encourage self-help and patient participation, aligning with a more patient-centered approach to healthcare.
