Profile
Dr Rose Oluwaseun Adetunji a ROSETTA Marie Sklodowska Curie fellow is a graduate of Information System from the University of South Africa, whose research area cuts across digital transformation of healthcare, AI, gaming, E-government and Human Computer Interaction. Her doctorate degree focuses on supporting medication adherence in Tuberculosis patients with use of Pokémon Go gaming strategies, approaches and experiences in South Africa. Her research findings revealed that gaming strategies, approaches and experiences can improve medication adherence in many chronic diseases patients in Africa and beyond.
After Roses’ PhD program, she joined the University of Johannesburg as a postdoctoral Fellow where her research focus include the Application of Artificial Intelligence in Education and Small Businesses. She authored many research articles in her area of research expertise in accredited journals. She attended local and international conferences in her field of expertise. She has mentored both master’s and PhD candidates and supervised their work as well. She has worked as a conference organiser and a peer reviewer to many accredited journals.
Rose has been an IT consultant; she worked as Business Analyst for several years in Nigeria before proceeding to South Africa in pursuit of her master’s and PhD. She received the Hope Community Academic Excellence Award in the year 2023 and many other scholarship awards. She is also a member of Women on the Watch (WOW) society Initiative, a Not-for-Profit organization registered in South Africa.
Roses’ present research interest include Digital Transformation, Artificial Intelligence applications and Human Computer Interaction (HCI).

ROSETTA Project
Development of a framework to support medication adherence in Diabetes patients using sustained gaming strategies and experiences
This project describes the design of a cutting-edge mobile application that uses gamification techniques to enhance medication adherence in people with diabetes. Diabetes patients’ behavioural traits are mapped by the app to particular gaming mechanics that encourage engagement, motivation, and regular adherence to treatment regimens. The study through the design of an App offers a customised and interactive experience that facilitates goal setting, progress tracking, real-time feedback, and social engagement by fusing psychological theories with evidence-based sustained gaming and diabetes management concepts.
The research uses the Design Science Research (DSR) methodology, which offers an organised way to create, use, and assess technological artefacts. The iterative process of problem identification, design, development, demonstration, and App evaluation was guided by the DSR framework. In order to improve usability and relevance, end-user feedback was consistently integrated using user-centred design principles. By methodically combining theory, data, and user feedback, the project produced a solid and expandable solution that satisfies real-world healthcare demands while fostering innovation.
The research aims to develop an App that shows gaming potentials as a valuable instrument in supporting and enhancing medication adherence in diabetes patients. the App demonstrates significant potential as a digital health tool that leverages gamification and design science principles to promote sustained medication adherence and improve health outcomes for individuals managing diabetes. Overall, fostering improved health results for individuals with diabetes in the era of digital technology.
