By experiencing the primary healthcare as a patient yourself.
For the Bachelor Nursing at UCLL, it is important to know which services are available for primary healthcare of patients and the impact they can have on the well-being (including social and economic aspects) of patients. To map out primary healthcare, XPLab developed a serious game in which players are presented with a patient case. However, instead of making decisions from the perspective of primary healthcare, they play the game through the eyes of the patient. This allows them to see the influence of referral to specific healthcare and support providers. Based on the choices players make, the game will reflect and simulate the impact on the patient’s health situation, as well as their social and economic well-being.
By presenting the patient’s perspective and allowing players to make decisions, the game immerses them in a virtual environment where they can experience the consequences of their choices firsthand. This gamified approach not only enhances the learning experience but also fosters a deeper understanding of the complexities and potential outcomes of primary healthcare. Through this interactive gameplay, players can gain valuable insights into the significance of referrals to specific healthcare providers and the subsequent impact on the patient’s overall well-being. By gamifying the view on primary healthcare, the serious game creates an educational platform that promotes critical thinking, empathy, and a holistic understanding of the patient’s journey within the context of primary care.
