Doctor Nation
The Armchair Diagnostician, Healthcare Crowdfunding Game | |
With the never ending popularity of medical sleuthing
dramas, and the cyberchondriac nature of a WebMD
population, and the ability of a good social game to
generate billions in revenues, the time has come to create
the next social gaming craze, educate the population and
fund healthcare --
all at the same time!
Sourced directly from the nation's doctor offices and
hospitals (with proper privacy protection), players receive
lists of reported symptoms, scans and test for new
patients, and try to diagnose them and come up with
treatment options. Players compete for access to harder
and harder cases, with optional freemium style buying of
harder cases and access to online medical encyclopedias,
with all proceeds going into Medicare

Being the hypochondriac that I am, I would play. Love
to solve medical mysteries. + |

[+] Nice idea. May be needs some tweaks to ensure doctors can't use the information to do their homework.
Must be exciting to find casually your own case and solving it: "Oh, I need a pace maker" |

I'm going with a diagnosis of delusions or grandeur and
persecution. |

I know lots of people who suffer from those, [bella]. |

Is this a realtime thing in parallel with professional diagnosis & treatment, or an after-the-fact thing. The former'd be the most fun of course. |
|

Sorry. I've never been able to stand Doctor Who. For it
to be interesting it would have to be more like Iain M.
Banks's Culture series. |
|
| |
oh, definitely in-parallel, [FlyingToaster] :) |

<Obligatory> Who is Doctor Who? </DoctorWho> |

My teenager swears by the new iteration. I vaguely
recall the old show, mostly as low budget? |
