Millions in taxpayer and foundation euros and dollars have been spent building and testing educational video games, games for health, and serious games. What have been the fruits of this frenzy of activity? What educational video game has had the reach and impact of Sesame Street or Blues Clues television shows? By comparison, the Children’s Television Workshop (CTW) managed to get Sesame Street off the ground within a couple of years, writing the basic scientific literature on educational media design in the process. Not only is Sesame Street well known and proven, it laid the basis for every effective educational show to follow. This article explores the differences between the CTW scientific approach to educational media production and the mostly nonscientific approach consuming so many resources in the educational games, games for health, and serious games movements. Fundamental scientific questions that remain unanswered are outlined.

O desenvolvimento de aplicações computacionais deve ser guiado pelas necessidades do cliente, considerando todas as etapas do projeto de um software. Quando estas aplicações são voltadas para educação em saúde, observa-se a necessidade de abordar aspectos relacionados a pelo menos quatro áreas: educação, saúde, estatística e computação, evidenciando a necessidade de uma abordagem multidisciplinar para a produção de ferramentas efetivas e eficientes para os problemas a que se destinam. Este artigo apresenta e discute etapas consideradas fundamentais no processo de desenvolvimento de serious games e simuladores de treinamento para a saúde baseados em realidade virtual.   PALAVRAS-CHAVE: realidade virtual; jogos em saúde; serious games.     ABSTRACT The development of computer applications must be guided by clients’ needs and must consider all step of software project.
