Designed in partnership with Santelys (a non-profit organization specializing in home healthcare and training), “Patient Alzheimer” is a serious game intended for nursing students in IFSI (Instituts de Formation en Soins Infirmiers – Nursing Training Institutes).
Based on a formative pedagogy, this system brings the learner to confront the care of an Alzheimer’s patient at different stages of the disease (early, moderate, or advanced stages). The learner is tasked with performing four care activities (vital signs monitoring, providing a snack, changing, administering medication), divided into three steps (preliminary data collection, entering the patient’s room, and leaving the room).

Pitch
A major donor named Gilles Bates has been imprisoned by Oblivio. To rescue Gilles Bates, the learner must retrieve a series of keys by accurately performing various care tasks for an Alzheimer’s patient (changing, administering medication, providing a snack, taking blood pressure, etc.). However, Oblivio will frequently disrupt the care steps, adding difficulty to the situation. In short, it’s a true storytelling experience that is both enjoyable and educational!
