Harbinger won the Gold award for “Clinical Challenge,” an innovative
online learning program with Philips Healthcare designed to pioneer the use
of gaming in healthcare education. Philips’ objective for “Clinical
Challenge” was to create a learning environment that would leverage
cognitive benefits of game-based learning in a manner that is cost-effective
and rapid to build. Philips collaborated with Harbinger to secure the
technology and services to design and deliver the program.
“With the help of Harbinger's thought leadership on game based learning
development and its innovative product Raptivity, Philips has started a new
paradigm in providing a unique learning experience in healthcare. The
celebrated “Clinical Challenge” combine entertainment with challenge, even
when testing knowledge on complex clinical subjects,” said Vikas Joshi,
Chairman and Managing Director of Harbinger Group.
According to Douglas Dell, Philips Healthcare’s Director of Learning
Services, “Harbinger has helped achieve the rapid momentum in our game-based
learning initiative. Philips now has a clear roadmap and capability in place
for implementing clinically focused interactions our users have endorsed as
compelling learning experiences. The ability to rapidly develop these
challenging, immersive learning experiences extends our portfolio of
learning products. Harbinger’s tools provide a cost effective array of
gaming experiences.”
As can be seen on the Philips Learning Center web site
www.theonlinelearningcenter.com complex subjects such as anatomy,
physiology, pathology and imaging specific challenges have been made
engaging and interesting using a variety of game formats including popular
TV game shows, common board games, challenging brainteasers, immersive
simulation games and so forth. The tools have also provided a means to
present advanced clinical images in a format that allows for exploration via
drag and drop, hot spots and auto-solve techniques.
