New Videogame: Take the Resilience Challenge

There are many pressures in healthcare, all of which have an impact on people who work on the front lines. Resilience Challenge, an interactive videogame launching today, aims to raise awareness about these pressures.

Organisational resilience is the ability of a system to adapt safely to pressures in healthcare. The Resilience Challenge supports people to explore this concept, and understand what it means in practice.

The videogame is based on guiding a patient’s journey through the hospital safely. It combines comic book style visuals with accurate medical imagery to create an experience that is both familiar and imaginative.

This helps people from a broad range of backgrounds including healthcare students, professionals, and the public to understand the pressures healthcare providers face at work, and how organisations can support clinicians and safe decision-making. 

The Resilience Challenge was created by Innovative Technology and Organisational Resilience in Healthcare, a collaboration between King's College London's Centre for Applied Resilience in Healthcare (CARe) and Karman Interactive, brokered and supported by the Cultural Institute at King's.

The Resilience Challenge is part of CARe’s wider work to inform policy about healthcare safety. The game is designed to raise awareness of the pressures on healthcare professionals and to start conversations about what can be done at an organisational level to support successful decision-making. CARe's goal is to make healthcare systems work safely for everyone involved.

You can take the Resilience challenge online, and please complete the survey at the end to support CARe's research.
