RETAIN - Neonatal Resuscitation
A Neonatal Resuscitation Training SimulatoN
Our goal was to make training more accessible to learners, starting with how teams worked together.
The Challenge
Neonatal resuscitation today is taught through a simulation based training program. This method is cost & resource intensive, which reduced its availability to those that need it and adversely impacts skill acquisition and retention. Neonatal resuscitation is a halo event (high acuity, low occurrence). Like a fire drill, it doesn't happen very often, but it is critical when it happens.

What We Did
Neonatal resuscitation is an extremely complicated process. As a design team, we needed to create a shared understand around this process in order to to design appropriately for it. Creating a board game enabled us to quickly act through the resuscitation process as a team, with objects to point to, use, and talk about.
RETAIN is a system designed to supplement existing resuscitation practices, and improve retention of neonatal resuscitation. One thing that became clear understand early on in our process, was that Neonatal Resuscitation is largely about communication. We created a Board Game and a Digital Simulator to allow people to practice neonatal resuscitation within a team and individually.
