"Medical software simulators are used to teach specific procedures that allow the user to follow only a strict sequence of steps without the possibility of alternative, avoiding considering the consequence of an error and then potentially admitting its tolerance. Usually these applications are a state machine implementation where learners must make a specific action to obtain a specific result. In our work we propose a brand-new approach with a “open world” serious game medical simulator, based on Agent Based Model Paradigm. Starting by these concepts, a user can learn and test his skills in a dynamic environment that changes in real time based on his actions. We provide a configurable starting set of conditions (patient heath state, available medical instruments and drugs) to create, potentially, infinite scenarios; alongside these boundary values the game permits to configure real time events that influence patient in an unpredictable way by the user side."
