Via: Serious-Game. fr - Pulse, The Flight Simulator For Medical Training, Finds a Partner In France
Building on the partnership with BreakAway Ltd., Interaction Healthcare extends its offer to adapt Pulse!! for medical training needs in France, resulting in a series of public projects.
Object of my previous posts G4H 2006: Pulse!! First Person Health Care Simulation, Pulse!! News: Serious Games Field Testing Begins, Pulse!! Update: Serious Games Improving Medical Learning Environment, and BreakAway Serious Games On Display On Capitol Hill, Pulse!! accounts for the largest investment in "Serious Games" history to the value of $ 14.7 million.
Pulse!! is a serious game for learning complex medical practices and technical knowledge : diagnosis of all types of illnesses, ER services and complex surgical procedures.
Through immersion in a virtual environment which simulates complex situations such as medical history, physiological responses to drug treatments, etc., Pulse! validates the knowledge that could be acquired in traditional modes of learning.
A major player in e-health, specializing in strategy and implementation of communication tools and health training, Interaction Healthcare will deploy Pulse!! in France, building the following capabilities:
• Use the Pulse! platform to develop training modules tailored for medical practices suchas use of complex medical devices, surgical procedures e.g. obstetrics, use of new medical equipment, others.
• Design new training modules on healthcare issues such as prevention of diseases for the general public.

Game-based technology is impacting the way medical and healthcare organizations teach a new generation of learners.
