Fragments of Life: A success in the frontier of medicine becomes a video game
The RESTORE core team is working on a video game to reach out to and inform a younger audience about Advanced Therapeutic Medicinal Products. Available within the next few weeks for free in the App Store and from Google Play, Fragments of Life follows the life of Ella, a teenager living with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia and her treatment journey from initial diagnosis and therapy, relapse and finally her treatment with CAR-T cell therapy.
The game focuses on describing and explaining different aspects of cancer and cancer treatment, in particular CAR T cell therapy. The player is interactively engaged through tasks and mini-games that guide the player through important moments in Ella’s life. CAR-T therapy is a prominent example of breakthroughs in medical care and highlights the future potential held by Advanced Therapies. We hope to educate a new generation of young people about ATMPs and maybe even inspire them to find out more!
