The teaching-learning process of human anatomy is complex and has undergone constant changes. Due to the difficulties that permeate this process, innovative learning methods are necessary to solve this problem. A team was formed to evaluate both the problems related to the teaching and learning of the HA subject as well as existing solutions in terms of active tools. Design Thinking (immersion phase) was used as a methodological procedure because it is an empathic approach that is divided into two spaces, the problem and the solution, so that artifacts can have desired properties and achieve well-defined goals. The article reports the execution of the first steps concerning the problem space. The results of first year of a research project that aims to create a game about Human Anatomy allowed us to understand that there are more internal factors that hinder the teaching-learning process of the contents of the Human Anatomy (HA) subject and that there are more external factors that help in this process. Therefore, the creation of a game that explores AH contents seems very promising and necessary.
