Popis: Coaching is a novel integrative method to help older adults with little prior experience with digital technology to interact properly with health games. However, coaching as a practice is rather case-specific and none has attempted to apply coaching into health games. This paper presents a formalized, integrative coaching model that infuses Goal Net with Propp’s functions to outline a flow of events that eventually assemble into a “coached gameplay session”. With the formalization of the Goal-Oriented Storytelling Model, the role of the coach in a health game session becomes clearer. The study presented in this paper validates GSM-driven coaching as an effective approach to bolster confidence among older adults when they interact with health games. The GSM also makes a generalizable, scalable solution to health game enjoyment possible through facilitating the creation of future digital health game coaches.
