Provided are a method, system, and article of manufacture for providing
information to a user of the computer program on using a medical therapy
to treat a medical condition. A virtual environment is displayed and a
user controlled virtual patient is displayed within the virtual
environment. The user controlled virtual patient is simulating receiving
the medical therapy and simulating real life activity in the virtual
environment. Input control signals are received from the user controlling
movement of the user controlled virtual patient through the virtual
environment and interactions are rendered between the user controlled
virtual patient and the virtual environment in response to the input
control signals to enable the user to virtually engage in a simulated
daily activity through the actions of the user controlled virtual
patient. The simulated daily activity is other than simulated receiving
of the simulated medical therapy. Information is displayed on how the
simulated medical therapy positively impacts the user controlled virtual
patient engaged in the daily activity to promote the medical therapy.
Other embodiments are described and claimed.
