Healing Games from HopeLab: Re-Mission and RuckusNation

A kid’s video game that has passed clinical trials as a treatment for cancer??
An idea challenge for treating childhood obesity, by and for kids??
Learn about these seriously fun innovations created by the researchers and developers at HopeLab.
The mission of HopeLab is to “combine rigorous research with innovative solutions to improve the health and quality of life of young people with chronic illness.”
Come join in the conversation, as Richard Tate and Chris Murchison explain more about Re-Mission — the ground-breaking video game which demonstrates how an innovative application of digital technology can have real impact on the health and well-being of young people with cancer around the world;
