چکیده
Games have been used as a tool to introduce older people to digital technology. Here we are developing a gameful system to facilitate the social interactions between older people and young adults in a community run club. We discuss opportunities for gamification as it relates to our current study using a local running group as platform for supporting older people in gaining confidence in integrating digital technologies in their everyday life.

This provides the background for addressing points of using gameful system to foster empowerment and connection in the intergenerational running group. Author
