Escape room meets AI: a new way to train future doctors?
NCT ID NCT07545135
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether an online 'escape room' game, powered by generative AI, could improve teamwork and cultural awareness among 100 health discipline students. Students from different countries played the game in a randomized crossover design. The goal was to see if this fun, interactive approach helps students learn to prioritize care and work together better in community health settings.
