Episode Description

Learning through video games isn't new – there are games aimed at almost every profession, even healthcare.  Sam Glassenberg is the founder of Level Ex which makes those types of learning games –  and when his daughter was diagnosed with type 1.. he was appalled at the on-boarding process which he called the worst game ever, full of frustration and punishment for the patient and caregiver. So Sam developed Level One – a new free game to teach type 1. We're talking about how it works, who it's for, and what makes it different from those gamification flops you may remember from years ago.
