Description
A VR medical game aimed at teaching current and future clinicians about the Social Determinants of Health & Cultural Humility. The user will play first-person as patients from an underserved community who are trying to seek medical care for a specific health issue. Each scenario will have the player play as a specific patient (i.e. Sofia, 53, Oncology Patient, Latina/Hispanic). The goal of each scenario is to place the player in the patient's shoes as they try to navigate the complex healthcare system while encountering barriers to successful treatment and aftercare. The obstacles that we will showcase in the narrative are related to the Social Determinants of Health of each respective patient. Platform: Quest 2.
