The advance of modern medical science and technologies has been beyond the
general public's imagination. Nowadays doctors routinely perform procedures and operations that used to be only found in fairy tales. Meanwhile, this progress further widened the existing communication gap between the medical community and the general public. Finding effective approa ![]() what was once considered advanced knowledge has already and will continue to have a deep positive impact on public health. Medicine is science, finding the right vehicle to disseminate the contents of this science is art. Several successful medical TV series such as “ER” and “House” have proven that medicine is full of ability for entertaining, contrary to the common perception. The medical community has already used video games and virtue reality technology for medical training, psychotherapy and patient education with positive outcomes. However, creating a successful medical game targeting the general public is a very challenging job that requires devoted medical professionals and experienced IT game designers working in synergy.

We believe, given the power of combining entertainment and scientific knowledge, this will be a promising approach to explain the mysteries of human life to children and their parents.
