Medical Calculus

Hospital Heroes is intended to let medical staff exercise medical calculus In a modern friendly way. Every year in the Netherlands hundreds of people die in hospital- and homecare Originating from mistakes made by simple calculation mistakes. The traditional learning methods like books and online (e-learning) alternatives doesnt prevent this. The game is primary targeted at female players who can upgrade the Team room And encounter serious mathematical exercises with funny character patients

The problem

Level 1 decimation, scaling, reducing, rounding Level 2 ml=>l, mg=>l,mol ,solutions, density, Celsius=>Fahrenheit, energy sizes, calculations regarding oxygen administration, calculation based in bodyweight Level 3 convert proportions, exponentiation, pH, diluting liquids, nutrient balance, food balance Level 4 multiple reducing, infusion administrating (infusion speed and reducing), gasses

Mathematical topics

Add to classical methods like books, paper test and e-learning tools E-learning to a higher level: learning through serious games

Gaming and measurements a serious add-ons to existing methods

Learn factor is as important as the fun factor: serious gaming & serious learning The demo demonstrates all the elements of the game In all the project and development phases the design and game design was tested by a peer group containing of hospitals, higher education schools, a health publisher and Cito international experts in examinations.
