Residology Game Design
Designed for Medical Practitioners
Residology’s game is an interactive study tool to allow both medical students and current medical practitioners to sharpen their medical skills for preparing for exams. Users will gain insight on what materials they know, what they need to work on, and gain knowledge in both.
Streamlined Study
Residology will allow players to quickly identify and address their content knowledge gaps, spending their study time as efficiently as possible. The game also teaches, with references, as it finds knowledge gaps.
Using self-selection, users will be able to select both categories of prep material or flag individual questions that they encounter to add them to their focused study pool. For self-selected questions, the game will automatically bring in associated content to help provide context.
With Residology’s self-testing features, users can go through a sample set of questions from across content, and the game will gauge which content areas to focus on in the future based on performance.
Engaging Structure
Study material will be presented in a gamelike narrative context, where players will level up their in-game avatar to be able to take on new and more challenging cases. Players will work with different patients, unlocking their stories and medical history through progression in the test material. Players will then apply their knowledge, combined with their in-game medical evidence, to complete patient care scenarios that encompass multiple competencies.
As players advance, they’ll expand their clientele and gain access to new patients, often with more challenging medical issues. The game will score the player in multiple aspects of care such as diagnostics, treatment, procedural knowledge, using this data and machine learning to provide reports to the player on progress in areas of identified weakness. Residology will also provide references for the student to review outside of the game.
Flexible Content
Users will be able to import and use content from different medical exam preparation question banks they already own.
