Abstract

The goal of the bachelor thesis is to improve and extend an existing application for the observation of the drinking behaviour of elderly residents in nursing homes with gamification elements. Saving time when documenting while providing a more fun experience to the caregivers and residents is aspired. The goal of this work is to determine whether the playful elements are well received by the caregivers and whether they would use the app in their homes. For this purpose, two online surveys were conducted. The first survey took place before the extension of the application and helps to gain an insight about what features are expected. The second survey served to support the actual goal, i.e. how the new elements would be received by the caretakers and if they would use the app. The answers show a dichotomy - about half of all respondents would work with this app in their workplaces, the other half would not for various reasons explained later on.
