Abstract

The effectiveness of InsuOnLine, a game for medical education on insulin therapy for diabetes, was assessed in a randomized controlled trial with 134 physicians, in comparison with a presencial educational session. Both interventions were well accepted and applicable, but the competence for insulin prescription was more improved in the game group. InsuOnLine was highly effective for medical education on diabetes.
