Avatar-Based Serious Game for Cardiac Rehabilitation After Heart Attack
Effectiveness of an Avatar-Based Serious Game in Facilitating Transition to Cardiac Rehabilitation After Myocardial Infarction: A Randomized Controlled Trial
This study looks at whether a tablet-based education game helps people recover better after a heart attack. When people leave the hospital after a heart attack, they are usually given advice about their medicines, follow-up visits, cardiac rehabilitation, and warning signs to watch for. Many people find it hard to remember all of this information later at home.
In this study, adults who were treated in hospital for a heart attack were divided by chance into two groups. One group received the usual face-to-face education before going home. The other group used an interactive avatar-based education game on a tablet, in which a guide character walks the patient through the same topics. The game could also be used at home for one month after discharge.
The researchers measured how much patients knew about their heart disease, their quality of life, whether they attended cardiac rehabilitation, and whether they were readmitted to hospital. These were checked before discharge and again at 1, 3, and 6 months. The goal is to learn whether the avatar-based game helps patients understand and manage their condition better than usual education.

Intervention / Behandling |
|---|---|
|
Aktiv komparator: Kontrolgruppe
|
Standard face-to-face discharge education delivered individually by the principal investigator before discharge, covering medication management, personal health record keeping, follow-up continuity and cardiac rehabilitation, and recognition of warning signs.
|
|
Eksperimentel: Avatar-based education group
|
Tablet-based, avatar-guided discharge education application structured around Coleman's Care Transitions Intervention model (medication management, personal health record, follow-up continuity, and recognition of warning signs), delivered through interactive, persona-adapted, scenario-based gameplay before discharge and accessible for one month afterwards.
