Abstract
The patient safety is one of the most important element to guarantee a good quality of healthcare and to satisfy the required standard. As shown in several recent studies, the technological development facilitated the growth and the diffusion of the simulation in healthcare education. In particular, many different serious games have been developed to educate medical professionals and to improve the learning of the medical procedures. In this paper we present the design of an educational game to train the medical students in order to deal with cardiology cases. A multidisciplinary methodology was adopted in order to make the medical knowledge, the biomedical technical skills and the mathematical approach converging. The serious game was designed to support the decision making process, formulated as an integer programming mathematical model that also evaluates the game performance. Moreover, the serious game was developed in a 3D environment and was implemented by Scrum framework.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
