Description(English)
Around 400,000 children worldwide get cancer each year, and their mental health is important during treatment. Hero Identity is a system that uses fun mirror games and apps to make treatment and learning about cancer more enjoyable. It has three goals:
1) To make kids feel like heroes on a mission to fight their disease.
2) To use hero-themed games to teach kids how to heal their own bodies and feel more positive about treatment.
3) To create a communication channel between doctors, parents, and children so everyone can stay informed and feel like they're part of a team.
