The Problem: Too much info, too little accuracy

Reliable information about dietary supplements already exists, but it is often presented in long, static fact sheets that many people may never read. At the same time, consumers are constantly exposed to supplement advice from social media, advertisements, friends, and online influencers. It can be difficult to know what is true, what is misleading, and what may be unsafe.

How Gametize turns Supplement Facts into Everyday Decisions

Gametize can turn trusted NIH information into a simple, interactive digital journey. Instead of asking users to read pages of text, they can learn through short quizzes, myth-busting games, videos, real-life scenarios, polls, and challenges. Users may earn points, unlock badges, track their progress, and receive content suited to their age, interests, or needs. For example, a user might:

• Decide whether a viral supplement claim is fact or fiction.
• Learn what questions to ask before taking a supplement.
• Complete a short scenario about mixing supplements with medication.
• Save a checklist to discuss with a healthcare professional.

Gametize is unique because it combines education, engagement, personalization, and measurable results in one platform. It does not simply share information—it encourages people to understand it, remember it, and apply it.

More Than a Single Campaign

The project can also become a reusable digital platform for future health education. The same approach could be expanded to cover topics such as healthy eating, medication safety, mental wellness, chronic disease prevention, maternal health, and healthy ageing. It could also support schools, healthcare providers, community organisations, public health campaigns, and workplace wellness programmes.

By combining trusted content with gamification and storytelling, Gametize can help turn complex health information into clear and practical everyday action. Learn more about how we do it below:
