Building a Medical Simulation Game

The truth about building simulated healthcare.

--

As a medical student, I felt very disillusioned with the way we study medicine. Hours spent in the library, endless time spent in lectures, and single best answer examinations that inadequately prepared you for work as a doctor.

My answer to this — PixelDr.

PixelDr is a 2D e-simulation designed to reimagine the way we teach medicine. The idea was to try and recreate the experience of being a doctor in the emergency department in a realistic but gamified way. The main goal of the project was to avoid all guidance to an answer, which we often get in our medical training through the single best answer format.
