Litesprite

Litesprite builds mobile games to help people manage health conditions like stress, anxiety/depression, diabetes or asthma. We combine proven medical treatments with the engagement of mobile games. Our mission is to create experiences that increase individual participation, incorporate support networks, and provide self-help tools so a person can easily and affordably manage their health or that of their loved ones. Clinicians and community health organizations can analyze data to understand players’ underlying triggers, communicate with players, and improve individual and group level outcomes. While we will develop a suite of games to address several health conditions, our first game SinaSprite helps the 40 million Americans, especially adult women, diagnosed with anxiety/depression. Litesprite’s innovative approach to have large scale impact in health was recognized as a winner in the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s 2013 Games to Generate Data Challenge. Our team includes clinicians AND gaming experts. A compelling emotional experience is the primary driver to engage and expose players to treatment methods.
