I’ve always been fascinated by how games like Surgeon Simulator take incredibly complex medical procedures and turn them into something approachable albeit exaggerated and humorous. It got me wondering: could this kind of interactive, simplified approach be used to create better tools for patient education?
For example, imagine a patient about to undergo surgery being able to explore a basic, interactive version of the procedure. It might help demystify the process and make them feel more informed and less anxious. Has anyone come across tools or platforms that already do this? Or do you think there’s potential for games or simulations to bridge that gap between medical professionals and patients? Curious to hear your thoughts!
