Women, Pain & Mind 2.1a

WOMEN, PAIN & MIND is an educational game that comprehensively covers 21 distinct diseases and types of chronic pain commonly experienced by women.

The game is designed for health professionals such as doctors, physiotherapists, psychologists, and nurses, as well as patients who may be dealing with one or more of the 21 types of pain. Its gameplay centers around the player's responses to a broad range of topics related to the experience of pain across these 21 categories. Success in the game hinges on providing accurate answers rather than incorrect ones.

Players start off hypothetically experiencing acute, short-term pain and progress along the Path of Pain, ultimately leading to Chronic Pain. The movement of the player's icon on this path depends on both the correctness of their responses to True or False statements about pain and the outcomes of a roulette wheel spun after each question. Points from the roulette determine whether the icon advances towards Chronic Pain or regresses in the opposite direction.

As players navigate the Path of Pain, they encounter unforeseen events and random elements based on their icon's position, which can either impede or accelerate their progress through the journey of pain.

The game also provides an option for players to challenge a virtual opponent and continues until a clear victory or loss is achieved. The game's extensive database ensures a rich gameplay experience with little risk of content depletion.
