MedBay-418: raising awareness of antibiotics prescriptions in a playful way
On the occasion of WAAW 2023, the Canton of Geneva collaborated with Atelier Sémaphore to design a serious game for the public: MedBay-418.
The game challenges players to determine appropriate treatments for patients with various fictional symptoms.Victory goes to players who prescribe enough antibiotics to treat the patients effectively without increasing the level of antibiotic resistance beyond what is necessary. Over a period of nine months, the game was played regularly in its entirety some 200 times a month.
It also earned first prize in the 2024 Swiss Game Awards in the ‹Best Serious Game› category. An English version will be available from the end of March 2025.
