In her article \u201cAvatars in Nursing and Healthcare,\u201d Vanessa Buchholz (n\u00e9e Skowronsky) discusses avatars in nursing and healthcare<\/strong> based on serious games.<\/p>\n

She describes avatars as personalized, embodied aliases of the players (as opposed to agents, who serve as communicating or instructing counterparts). <\/p>\n

The author emphasizes the benefits of avatars in particular: visual representation of current or future health status, encouragement of health-promoting behavior, and support for behavioral changes in prevention.
