Summary
Dr. Angela Chia-Chen Chen, a physician at MSU, developed an engaging mobile game called "HPV Detective" to educate patients about the HPV vaccine. Recognizing that many patients ignore traditional health brochures and flyers, Dr. Chen aimed to meet them where they are—on their devices. The game, designed for both children and parents, takes players through the human body to combat viruses and germs while providing educational information about HPV and the vaccine. Early focus group testing has been promising, with users, like Brittni Perry Boddy and her daughter, Aubree, finding it informative and easy to understand.
