This is even more important for those in the field of nursing who may be faced with sudden and time-sensitive situations every day. However, it can be hard to train these soft skills in a practical scenario. ‘Chest Pain’ is a game that hopes to help bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application in an emergency.”

Making use of applied gameification and realworld nursing procedures, ‘Chest Pain’ breaks down the steps of what to do when faced with such a scenario. At the same time, the game also allows for nurses to practice and explore different styles of responses while receiving immediate feedback from their actions. The game also allows for evaluators to collect data based on the user’s performance and evaluate them accordingly. “
