Quite in the intro indeed. Get ready for an outstanding Health Points episode on:

'Knocking on doors', following passions (and finding people with diverse interests and passions) to create the foundations of games and health
Gameplay that is so sensitive it can be used as a measurement of cognitive change
With game score improvements that have transferable real-world benefits
The twin Pillars of clinical data and design on the journey to the prescription of gamified digital therapeutics
And the importance of Defining the therapeutic elements or buckets of a game versus the ‘buckets’ that drive engagement and don’t undermine the therapeutic intervention
