The Hopewell Hospitalist Game

In collaboration with Schell Games and the University of Pittsburgh, Dr. Barnato has created an NIH-funded video game called Hopewell Hospitalist. Available on the App Store, Hopewell Hospitalist is a theory-based adventure game designed to increase physician engagement in an advance care planning (ACP) conversation with a patient over the age of 65. The game challenges players with realistic medical case simulations designed to improve critical decision making and risk recognition. Learn more at https://sites.dartmouth.edu/hopewell-hospitalist/.
