Video Game Helps Young Cancer Patients Take Meds

“Cancer patients stick to their medication regimen thanks to Re-Mission, a specially designed video game that teaches adherence to treatment plans. Re-Mission players control a tiny robot called Roxxi who moves around in a 3-D environment representing the inside of the body of a young cancer patient. Players can use Roxxi to blast cancer cells and control side effects, and winning the game requires taking chemotherapy drugs and antibiotics, using relaxation techniques, eating food, and keeping up with other types of self-care.”
