Kind Code:

Abstract:
A multi-player interactive electronic game for health education encourages inter-player communication about a health condition by correlating the players' progress. Each player manages the health of a game construct such as a game character or body region. Correlating the player's game progress is achieved through: common scoring; conditioning a player's passage to higher levels on the health management success of all players; and shared game resources, including game resources representing devices or supplies used in the care of the health condition. Applications include children' health education related to diseases such as diabetes and asthma, as well as health habits such as dental hygiene, and tobacco, alcohol and drug use.
