Dr. Binay Shah, co-founder and president of Binaytara, shared the genesis of the app: “This is a dream come true. It started when I was on a flight and the person sitting next to me was so engaged in a game on her phone. I asked what she was playing and she said ‘Candy Crush.’ An idea struck me: what if we created a version for cancer, like Cancer Crush? OncoBlast is more than just a gaming app; it has the potential to democratize how we approach medical education in oncology. By gamifying the learning process and providing access to the latest medical data and experts, we’re making it easier and more enjoyable for healthcare professionals to advance their knowledge and provide the best care for their patients.”
Research has shown that game-based and/or gamified educational activities enhance learning, knowledge retention and provide overall positive experience for the students.
