Fighting cancer is no game. But thanks to HopeLab, there is a video game designed to help empower kids with cancer.
The video game is Re-Mission and it features an intrepid nanobot called Roxxi who journeys through cancer patients bodies, destroying the cancer cells, fighting the infections, and dealing with the side effects usually associated with different cancers and cancer treatments.
If you think it’s just another video game, think again. To ensure that Re-Mission was on track to help cancer suffers, a controlled research study was undertaken prior to the game’s release. 375 cancer patients between the ages of 13 and 29 from the United States, Australia, and Canada were recruited to test the games effectiveness.
Here are the results…
Young people who played Re-Mission maintained higher blood levels of
chemotherapy and showed higher rates of antibiotic utilization than those in the
control group.”
Re-Mission is available free of charge to young people with cancer.
