STOP THE PRESSURE ULCER GAME FOR THE HEALTH CARE INDUSTRY




Applio are about to release a new Serious Game called - Stop the Pressure Ulcer, the game is built using their innovative Digital Learning Platform, a platform that is cloud based and allows Games to be built in hours rather than weeks. The Stop the Pressure Ulcer game is played collaboratively between two teams using tablets.

This provides an enjoyable, engaging and collaborative environment that has proven to drive increased retention rates and delivers behavioral change. The game is focused to drive Learning & Development around Pressure Ulcers.

Pressure Ulcers cost the USA healthcare industry between $9 and $11 Billion dollars annually, in the UK pressure sores cost the NHS between £1.4 and £2 Billion annually. As you can see even a small degree of improvement would save both Countries an enormous amount of money.

I will keep you updated on progress, Applio are just about to embark upon a major sales & marketing campaign covering both Countries.

NB: The Stop The Pressure Ulcer Game is built in partnership with Focus Games - Website
Focus Games are a leading provider of Games to the UK Health Market. Applio and Focus Games will be working in partnership to develop a number of games to assist with Learning & Development within the UK Health Care market.
