Are video games good for you? That depends on who you ask. However, games are an undeniably popular part of our culture, and Looped founder Sam R. Patel aims to harness humanity's affinity for gaming to build a better understanding of health.
"Patients right now have a problem with getting information," says Patel. "They go to a clinic for treatment — let's say Botox or weight loss. And then they have a bunch of questions, like, 'Should I be preparing? Should I drink water? Should I not eat before? What should I wear to the treatment? Am I healing properly? What should I be doing? How should I go about my care? Should I see results right now?' There's all these questions or curiosities they have."
