ABSTRACT
Digitalisation leads to new caring modes but as well as teaching and learning ones. The “Patient's Rights &
Innovative Teaching Strategy” (PRITS) project aims at developing a Serious Game to support students in learning about patient rights. Thus, the law must be more accessible for those future healthcare professionals who will apply legal rules in their daily lives. This serious game should raise awareness, increase student moti- vation, facilitate the capacity development to apply knowledge as well as broaden the pedagogical options for patient rights education. This project is taking shape through a multidisciplinary design and development team bringing together health, law, pedagogy and engineering. From a methodological point of view, an authoring system allows the whole team to develop the serious game simultaneously, thus facilitating co-creation.
Patient rights issues are implemented in the game as scenarios and are illustrated by dialogues between a health professional and a patient. By offering possibilities such as interactive narrations and direct feedback, the simulation allows students to be immersed in professional situations that are relevant to patients' rights.
