Especially in chronic diseases, such as shoulder impingement syndrome (SIS), good self-management is important for patients to take personal responsibility for their treatment and make informed decisions in rehabilitation processes. Mobile apps integrating game design elements have great potential to increase patients self-management skills. A total of 21 functionalities for a self-management app were derived from semi-structured interviews with six patients and three therapists. Thereby, welcome messages, a personalized home-screen, and training plans are rated as particular useful. Ten of these functionalities could be implemented in a first prototype of SISco: your shoulder impingement syndrome companion. SISco provides possibilities for creating and executing training programs, learning about SIS, checking daily challenges, and making diary entries. Thereby, SISco motivates patients via progress bars, collecting XP, unlocking content and Dr. SISco the virtual therapist. Future work includes the implementation of further functionalities and the evaluation of SISco for usability and user acceptance.
特别是在慢性病中，如肩峰下撞击综合征（SIS），良好的自我管理对于患者个人负责治疗和在康复过程中做出明智决策非常重要。集成游戏设计元素的移动应用程序具有提高患者自我管理技能的巨大潜力。从对六名患者和三名治疗师的半结构化访谈中得出了 21 种自我管理应用程序的功能。因此，欢迎消息、个性化的主屏幕和培训计划被认为特别有用。其中 10 种功能可以在 SISco 的第一个原型中实现：您的肩峰下撞击综合征伴侣。SISco 提供了创建和执行培训计划、了解 SIS、检查日常挑战和记录日记的可能性。因此，SISco 通过进度条、收集 XP、解锁内容和虚拟治疗师 Dr. SISco 来激励患者。未来的工作包括实现更多功能以及评估 SISco 的可用性和用户接受度。
