About this game
A vital sign, a sentence of context, and one call to make: is this normal for this patient? Deliberately the easiest game in the arcade. It exists to warm you up and to prove the framework works end to end. The only real lesson is that a number is not abnormal until you know whose it is.
What you will practice
- Read a vital sign against the patient it belongs to, not against a memorized number
- Recognize how normal ranges shift with age
- Commit to a call quickly and check it afterward
The clinical content
This game has not had its research pass yet. When it does, this section will say exactly what it teaches, which guideline edition it follows, and who reviewed it.
