Evaluation of Adaptive Feedback in a Smartphone-Based Serious Game on Health Care Providers' Knowledge Gain in Neonatal Emergency Care: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Although smartphone-based clinical training to support emergency care training is more affordable than traditional avenues of training, it is still in its infancy and remains poorly implemented. In addition, its current implementations tend to be invariant to the evolving learning needs of the intended users. In resource-limited settings, the use of such platforms coupled with serious-gaming approaches remain largely unexplored and underdeveloped, even though they offer promise in terms of addressing the health workforce skill imbalance and lack of training opportunities associated with the high neonatal mortality rates in these settings.

Objective

This randomized controlled study aims to assess the effectiveness of offering adaptive versus standard feedback throu
