About the Heartgame

Aims

  • To develop a game for heart failure patients and their relatives to learn about living with heart failure in everyday life
  • To explore if gamification can be a new way of “learning” for heart failure patients and their relatives about living with heart failure in everyday life

Co-creation

The Heartgame has been developed in a collaboration between heart failure patients, relatives, health professionals from the Cardiology Ward, Regional Hospital of Viborg/Skive, health centers in Viborg and Skive Municipalities, the Heart Association, as well as researchers from the Department of Psychology, Aarhus University; Technical University of Denmark, and Aalborg University. The heart game is part of the research project: Future Patient – Telerehabilitation of Heart Failure Patients
