I recently heard about a new video game called "ReMISSION". The main character, Roxie, battles cancer and related illnesses such as infection with her chemo blaster and medicine rockets, and in the process, helps young cancer patients deal with and understand their disease. Playing "ReMISSION" has been shown to increase compliance with treatments because patients have a better understanding of their purpose. The game can be purchased or downloaded in English, French or Spanish from the "ReMISSION" website, where there is also an online community for cancer patients and survivors.

Apparently, HopeLab is working on other games to deal with obesity, autism, major depressive disorder and sickle cell anemia.
