Re-mission video game about cancer

[Maggie]

I just ran across this on CNN

http://www.cnn.com/2009/HEALTH/08/06/video.game.cancer/index.html

The website with the actual game is

http://www.re-mission.net/

I haven't tried to play it yet, but it is supposed to teach cancer
patients about what is going on in their bodies as they are being
treated for cancer. If I was still teaching intro bio, I bet I would
jump all over this.

A short quote:
'A study he conducted that was published in 2008 showed that patients
who played Re-Mission took their medication more consistently and
learned more about their disease than those who didn't.

"What this game is really built to do is help teenagers be better
participants in their own medical care enterprise," said Cole. "It
gives them a real opportunity to affect their own health outcomes."'
