The Health and Research board game, created as part of the MEDNIGHT project by CHU Toulouse, transforms complex scientific topics into a playful experience tailored for young patients. Its flexible format allows customization to specific diseases, making it ideal for therapeutic patient education.
On February 19, 2024, the game was presented by Dr. Yves Dulac at the Cafés de la Pédiatrie series held at Hospital Pierre Paul Riquet in Toulouse. Pediatric healthcare professionals learned how this innovative tool can support young patients—particularly those with rare chronic conditions—in understanding their disease, the importance of adapted physical activity, and the basics of clinical research. The event highlighted the game’s potential to foster curiosity, discussion, and trust in science within pediatric settings.
