DESCONECTA: Um aplicativo gamificado para redução coletiva do tempo de tela e promoção do bem-estar digital
Resumo
O uso de smartphones tornou-se parte essencial da vida cotidiana. Apesar das vantagens da conectividade, o uso excessivo desses dispositivos está associado a impactos físicos, mentais, cognitivos e sociais. As soluções existentes, como bloqueios nativos, são fáceis de burlar pelos próprios usuários. Este artigo apresenta o aplicativo gamificado Desconecta por meio do qual grupos de usuários participam de desafios semanais para reduzir o tempo de uso de tela. O aplicativo permite definir metas e comparar resultados entre os participantes. Nos testes observou-se redução no tempo médio de uso entre os participantes e bom engajamento na dinâmica proposta, indicando que a abordagem coletiva pode contribuir para um uso mais consciente e saudável da tecnologia.Referências
