Obesity has become an outstanding public health issue in most countries  around the world. Many attempts have been made to address this issue that  ranges from taking medication to doing exercise to following a diet plan to  playing games. Few approaches combine exercise and game to engage the obese  people in playing fun-based games or purposeful games, also known as serious  games, while monitoring their biosignals. However, existing work hardly  provides a configurable, scalable and context-aware serious game framework  that can be used as a support for obesity treatment. In this paper, we take  an attempt to propose such a framework. The proposed framework facilitates  bio-signal monitoring based on body sensor network, context-awareness based  on pervasive sensors, and on-the-spot activity recommendation based on  current game-playing context. It uses the cloud computing platform as  infrastructural support that ensures the scalability of the framework. In  order to demonstrate the suitability of the proposed framework, we developed  a sample serious game; deploy it over a cloud platform; and experiment with  it by capturing some psycho-physical data while the obese are engaged in  game-play. We observed that the obese people were very much engaged in  game-play and they had positive experience using the system.
