This dissertation explores the educational needs and preferences of surgical patients, focusing on how they want to learn about their surgeries and the potential role serious games could play in enhancing this education. The work examines different learning methods, evaluating traditional techniques alongside novel approaches such as serious games. Through quantitative and qualitative studies, it identifies patients' high knowledge expectations, particularly concerning disease, treatment, complications, and self-care. Despite a preference for direct communication with healthcare professionals, patients show openness to innovative learning tools. The research highlights the importance of tailored educational interventions to empower patients, suggesting that serious games could effectively improve knowledge about post-operative care, particularly pain management, when supported by healthcare professionals. This study is intended for healthcare educators and professionals involved in patient education.

The recent re-emergence of serious games as a branch of video games and as a promising frontier of education has introduced the concept of games designed for a serious purpose other than pure entertainment. To date the major applications of serious games include education and training, engineering, medicine and healthcare, military applications, city planning, production, crisis response, to name just a few. If utilised alongside, or combined with conventional training and educational approaches, serious games could provide a more powerful means of knowledge transfer in almost every application domain. Serious Games and Edutainment Applications offers an insightful introduction to the development and applications of games technologies in educational settings. It includes cutting-edge academic research and industry updates that will inform readers of current and future advances in the area. The book is suitable for both researchers and educators who are interested in using games for educational purposes, as well as game professionals requiring a thorough understanding of issues involved in the application of video games technology into educational settings. It is also applicable to programmers, game artists, and management contemplating or involved in the development of serious games for educational or training purposes.

Jeux vidéo, jeux de simulation, jeux de rôle, escape games, gamification, etc., l’usage du jeu suscite un intérêt croissant chez les enseignants et les formateurs. Mais comment apprend-t-on en jouant ? Quels éléments prendre en compte pour concevoir des dispositifs d’apprentissage qui intègrent le jeu ? C’est à partir de ces questions et une synthèse des travaux de recherche qu’Éric Sanchez élabore une théorie globale des relations entre jeu et apprentissage. Le Paradoxe du Marionnettiste ouvre ainsi de nouvelles perspectives en termes de conception, d’implémentation et d’analyse des usages du jeu en contexte éducatif. Éric Sanchez est professeur en technologies éducatives à l’Université de Genève. Ses travaux portent sur l’innovation pédagogique, les usages du numérique en éducation et plus particulièrement sur l’analyse des usages et la conception de jeux numériques pour l’enseignement et la formation.

Modern practical medicine requires high tech in diagnostics and therapy and in consequence in education. All disciplines use computers to handle large data bases allowing individual therapy, to interpret large data bases in form of neuronal signals, help visualization of organs during surgery. This book contains chapters on personalised therapy, advanced diagnostics in neurology, modern techniques like robotic surgery (da Vinci robots), 3D-printing and 3D-bioprinting, augmented reality applied in medical diagnostics and therapy. It is impossible without fast large scale data mining in both: clinical data interpretation as well as in hospital organization including hybrid surgery rooms and personal data flow. The book is based on a course for medical students organized in the editor's department. Every year, around 300 international undergraduate medical students take the course.
