It’s here!
Following MalariaSpot, a game which allowed you to diagnose real malaria samples, comes another game from Spotlab, Spotwarriors.
A game for all…From the youngest to the oldest members of the household, all can become SpotWarriors. As you level up, you will achieve higher rewards and microscopes that improve your lab. Become the scientist champion!
Contribute to diagnosis. You might think you are only playing, but by doing so you are also contributing to the medical diagnosis of diseases that are a global health issue.
How are you helping? All the images that you find in SpotWarriors are real samples. Some have already been analysed by a team of professionals and we know the results, however there are many yet to be analysed. But don’t panic! You will not be responsible for the diagnosis. Your results will be used with those of all SpotWarriors to achieve a reliable analysis.
As it was proved in MalariaSpot, the analysis of 20 players is equal to that of a single microscopy expert.
Cognitive abilities. Diagnosis isn’t the only thing you will be doing. Some of our games are designed by psychologists, so by playing, you are also training your cognitive skills as well, like memory, attention, spacial awareness, etc…
Daily missions. Participate daily to train your mental skills and help diagnose diseases. Gain experience and become the best SpotWarrior.
Around the world. Travel around the globe where you will find different global health issues. From Malaria and Helminths which affect subtropical countries, to Hemoglobinopathy or cancer that affect the whole world.
Compete, learn and help! You can also create contests from the web spotwarriors.org and organize classroom workshops for your students and learn about global health problems in a dynamic and fun way.
