Aim of media coverage

Through media coverage, we aim to convey to society the issues of pediatric medical care and child support through medical care in an easy-to-understand manner, and to generate interest from as many people as possible. We hope that the experiential method of serious games will help people from a variety of professions, including not only medical professionals, but also students, families, and local supporters, come to a common understanding and collaborate more easily. We also hope to expand the possibilities of medical education by presenting a new way of learning called gamification to medical students and young medical professionals. Furthermore, the aim is to strengthen the dissemination of information to local expectant mothers and their families, reduce anxiety about childbirth, childcare, and medical treatment, and contribute to creating an environment where children can be raised with peace of mind.

Regarding future communications

We will continue to actively disseminate information in conjunction with the release of new serious games and provide practical reports on medical support for children and family support. Additionally, through industry-academia-government collaboration and collaborative projects with companies, we will increase opportunities for more people to learn about the possibilities of gamification. We will continue to propose new models for medical education and solving social issues by strengthening our communication both online and offline, such as publishing content on YouTube and speaking at academic conferences and events.
