Full FeedFlash game helps doctors make better house calls
More industries are realizing the importance of gaming not just as a relaxing pastime but as educational tools.
RiskDom-Geriatrics, a 3D virtual reality game meant to help medical students make effective house calls. It offers patient homes with various hazards that the students will have to find and help correct.
You can even give the game a try if you’d like (forgive the cheesy music and cartoony cat). It’s built on Flash and has a pseudo Sim style interface. You get an overview of the patient and then visit their home, clicking on various hazards. Visit the medicine cabinet and you’ll get a precise description of the medication the patient is taking.
I wouldn’t quite call it s “3D virtual reality game,” a la The Sims, but it’s a cute start.
