A Serious Game: Learning About Opiates

Context

Opiates provide effective treatment solutions for pain. However, use of them is still “timid”, probably due to a lack of understanding about their usage.

Project

The project entails training teams of physicians, nurses, and care staff on the use of opiates in pain management. It does this using an innovative training module: gamified learning, a training tool using video game technologies. The player is invited to interact with a software application that combines educational aspects with playful motivations inspired by video games.

Où en sommes-nous ?

Août 2019 : En une année, plus de 1'600 professionnels de la santé des HUG ont suivi la formation sur les opiacés par le Serious Game, avec un taux de satisfaction supérieur à 70%. Le projet est désormais terminé. La formation est à disposition des collaborateurs, nouveaux comme anciens qui souhaitent parfaire leurs connaissances et compétences sur le sujet.

L'application est accessible aux patients depuis septembre 2019.
