Hello All,
I am currently a final year student at the University
of the Arts in Norwich studying Game art and Design. I will be
writing an end of year report about "What do serious games in surgery have
to offer".
I am wondering would anyone be interested in giving me insight into the industry but also offering to share any information you know about What do serious games have to offer medical professionals, students, patients themselves in surgery? The information you provide will help me immensely in my
research and also give a better understanding of the Serious Games industry.
Key aspects I would like to find out are:
- Advantages and disadvantages-patient safety, learning/training techniques compared to traditional methods, time and money efficient.
- The difficulties when developing games for the purpose of education.
- Serious games offer a risk free environment when
training for surgeries, enabling the player to repeat a technique or procedure
without serious consequences. Do you think this has any advantages or
disadvantages for training and application to real life procedures?
Any help would be welcome
Thank you in advance
