Summary

This study is testing a new video game designed to help teenagers with congenital heart disease learn how to manage their own healthcare. The game teaches skills like talking to doctors, understanding medical information, and keeping track of appointments and medications. About 150 teens, their parents, and doctors will try the game and give feedback. The goal is to see if the game is easy to use and helps teens feel more confident about taking care of their heart health as they grow up.
