A 3D serious game for medical students training in clinical cases

摘要

This paper describes an auxiliary environment in the process of teaching and learning for students and professors of medicine. The environment has a serious game available in various computing devices to simulate clinical cases in order to assess students' knowledge. Diagnostics are simulated using 3D environment, mobile application using voice synthesizer and immersion through virtual reality goggles. The environment has gamification features as a motivational mechanism for users. Within the 3D environment, medical subjects are offered by the NPCs (Non Playable Characters), in order to provide auxiliary knowledge to facilitate the identification of diseases in patients or medical issues in general. Professors can check the score of their students and take extra steps in class to clarify doubts. The system has a multi-agent system and machine learning for disease classification offered by virtual patients.
