Challenge

The Problem Cell mutation, sometimes known as cancer, is the result of alterations in a cell's DNA or RNA. The mutation, however, is person-specific, meaning that each person's malignant cells are distinct because mutations vary in kind, quantity, and cancer forms. Even if a person has the same cancer type as another person, their mutations may be distinct and necessitate a different course of therapy. By determining the person's DNA and/or RNA mutations, Foundation Medicine Inc. (FMI); a product of Roche pharma, enables the doctor to provide a more specialized and tailored therapy with fewer side effects and a better outcome. Based on this knowledge, an interactive card based game was developed to help HCPs pre-identify mutations in various cancer cells.

Solution

The Solution This card game turned out to be a novel development in learning more about cancerous gene mutation which helps in early identification of cell mutation that in turn helps in treatment and management for cancer in an early stage. All cards will be displayed for 5 seconds and then flipped and shuffled with ref showing only on the first slide. On every wrong selection, the health will decline and the HCP will lose 100 points. The health meter will start blinking if the HCP chooses 2 wrong cards. Once the health meter starts blinking, a pop up will appear suggesting the HCP to click the FMI button to find the mutations to save the patient's life. On the click of the FMI button, BONUS cards will appear showing all the mutations and new ones that were found by FMI.

Results

The card game aids in early identification of cell mutations, facilitating early-stage cancer treatment. Incorrect selections decrease health and points, prompting HCPs to use FMI's mutation database for better patient care. Time limits and limited resources add challenge to the game.
