The Escape Room Experience
Upon entering the escape room, each team of doctors and healthcare professionals was challenged to solve a series of puzzles and practical tests, simulating complex medical scenarios. Amidst clues and challenges, they needed to identify symptoms, conduct preliminary diagnoses, and make quick, accurate decisions to ensure the proper treatment for the patient. Each step of the game was designed to simulate the critical decisions that doctors face daily, promoting not only interaction but also collaboration among professionals.
Learning and Immersive Experiences: Impact and Importance
Studies show that practical activities, such as those offered by the escape room format, can increase knowledge retention by up to 55% compared to traditional learning methods. This type of immersive training helps participants internalize concepts, develop problem-solving skills, and enhance teamwork abilities under pressure. Such experiences make learning more engaging, helping to solidify knowledge and skills in a deep and lasting way.
Results and Feedback
Johnson & Johnson expressed great satisfaction with the impact generated at the Hemo fair. The escape room not only attracted a high number of participating doctors but also generated very positive engagement: at the end of the event, 87% of participants stated that the experience helped them better understand the complexities of initial diagnosis and treatment. Additionally, many doctors mentioned that the simulations helped them visualize daily challenges, encouraging them to apply the strategies and practices observed in the game to their work environments.
Conclusion
The success of this activity reinforces the importance of immersive experiences in professional learning, especially in the healthcare field. Moments like this have the power to transform technical training into meaningful and engaging experiences, reinforcing knowledge and practice in a profound and lasting manner. For Johnson & Johnson and Escape Time, the escape room at the Hemo 2024 fair was more than just a game; it was an opportunity to directly impact the daily practice of doctors.
Soon, we will continue to explore new ways to bring transformative experiences to corporate events and training, ensuring learning and engagement.
