With the devastation caused by this disease, I thought I would share something I read today. A new video game called "Re-mission" teaches children and youth about their disease and what it's doing to them. It also teaches them the importance of continuing their treatments and medications. The company that makes it, HopeLab offers this game to families with sick children for nothing.

I think this is a very innovative approach at new treatment augmenting methods, and who knows maybe this is starting a new trend in disease education.

Yeah its a very useful method for treat such people .. usally they dont belive what ppl say .. i'll be more happy if a iinnovative company develops a game in which a child can complete his primary or secondary studies at home.

Hopefully there will be more such games, or uses of the technology, being made available in the future. With the available game engines around now it is possible to make even the dullest subjects seem and look interesting and attention grabbing.
However i think there will few companies willing to spend the time and huge amounts of money on these "educational" games...just not enough return in it for them.
Maybe it is something the governments should be spending some money on.

great offer eh
