Serious Game for caregivers CLIP VIDEO at the bottom
EHPAD-PANIC demonstrated that a Serious Game could be useful for the education of the healthcare professionals in nursing homes. It is a well-functioning and well- accepted game. After the AZ@GAME project, it is important to increase the number of scenarios, and to diffuse the game.

Forecasted effects
For family helpers, the objective is to raise consciousness of the disease by a ludic and immersing presentation through simulation exercises involving interaction.
The objective is also to raise consciousness of the disease and see its daily progress. This consciousness raising relies on the importance to prepare the family background on the different steps of the disease over the years.
As regards patient assessment of cognitive and behavioural abilities, the objective is to comprehend better and follow disease progression to:
- enable professional helpers to follow their patient’s condition and better adapt trainings offered within the game,
- enable family helpers to adapt their behaviour to the patient according to disease progression.
Concerning training, the objective is to meet the patient’s requirements in terms of exercises that should be fulfilled in the hospital or at home. By staying fit as long as possible we are looking for an autonomy in the long-term. The objective is to create social link with another patient or with a caregiver through some multiplayer exercises to train and increase motivation.
As regards socialization of family helpers, the objective is to help them to break out of their isolation by talking with other caregivers and with professionals. The objective is also to give some tools to professional helpers to ensure a follow-up of the patient, friends and family circle.
This is explained through practical cases presented in the section ‘Application Scenarios’.
