About the Project
About Genecipher
Roche Pharma, through its product Foundation Medicine Inc. (FMI), aimed to provide precision cancer therapy by identifying patient-specific DNA and RNA mutations. DigiTrends partnered with Roche to develop Genecipher, an interactive card-based game designed to educate healthcare professionals (HCPs) on recognizing mutations in cancer cells for early intervention and improved treatment outcomes.
At DigiTrends, we offer gamification platform development services that include highly interactive and client-centric designs. Our gamification platform development solutions provide engaging experiences, user interaction, and add value aligned with specific project goals.
The Vision & Objectives
What We Set Out To Achieve
Enhance HCP Understanding of Cancer Mutations
To help healthcare professionals pre-identify patient-specific gene mutations in various cancer types.
Promote Early Detection and Tailored Therapy
To support personalized treatment strategies that reduce side effects and improve patient outcomes.
Create an Engaging Learning Experience
To combine gamification with education, ensuring HCPs remain actively involved while learning complex genetic concepts.
The Core Challenges
The Problems We Needed to Solve
-
Complexity of Cancer Mutations
Each patient’s cancer mutations are unique, requiring a tailored understanding for effective therapy.
-
Lack of Interactive Training Tools
Traditional methods of learning about gene mutations were static and less engaging for HCPs.
-
Need for Early Identification
Early recognition of mutations is critical for personalized cancer treatment and management, yet challenging to teach effectively.
Overcome Business Challenges With Custom Solutions
We are experienced in helping businesses create interactive gamified experiences to enhance engagement, attract users, and drive measurable results.
The Solution
How We Addressed the Problems
To address these challenges, DigiTrends developed a card-based game that transformed the way healthcare professionals learned to identify mutations in various cancer cells.
Card-Based Interactive Game
We developed a novel game where cards display mutations for 5 seconds before flipping, allowing HCPs to identify them actively.
Real-Time Feedback and Health Metrics
Incorrect selections reduce health points, trigger visual alerts, and prompt the HCP to use the FMI button for guidance.
Gamified Learning with Bonus Features
The FMI button reveals additional mutations and discoveries, while “Try Again” functionality allows resetting without losing remaining time, encouraging mastery of content.
Project Impact
What Success Looked Like
-
Improved HCP Knowledge on Mutations
Healthcare professionals gained a better understanding of patient-specific cancer mutations for early identification.
-
Engaging and Interactive Education
The gamified approach ensured HCPs remained actively involved while learning complex concepts.
-
Support for Personalized Therapy
The game reinforced the importance of mutation detection in guiding effective, tailored treatments.
-
Scalable Learning Tool
Genecipher provides a reproducible and engaging method to educate HCPs across multiple regions.
DigiTrends’ collaboration with Roche Pharma resulted in Genecipher, an interactive, educational game that blends gamification with medical accuracy and educates HCP’s on cancer mutations.
