This dissertation explores the application of game mechanics in context such as electronic health (eHealth). The aspects examined are mostly inherent the "gamification" field, a new term describing the use of game mechanics in non-game contexts. After analysing the state of the art, we tried to tackle the matter of medication adherence with the development of a gamified solution for a specific pill-reminder platform, drDrin. We designed this solution and implemented it, furthermore trying to validate this concept interviewing real patients.
