Founded in 2001, HopeLab is a non-profit organization
that combines rigorous research with innovative
solutions to improve the health and quality of life of
young people with chronic illness.

In May 2006, HopeLab introduced its first product,
Re-Mission™, a video game developed for adolescents
and young adults with cancer. HopeLab conducted a
randomized, controlled trial to test the effect of
Re-Mission on adolescents and young adults with
cancer. The study included 375 male and female cancer
patients aged 13- 29 at 34 medical centers in the
United States, Canada and Australia.

Preliminary findings from this research, which were
presented in March of 2006 at peer-reviewed scientific
meetings, indicate that playing Re-Mission produced
increases in quality of life, self-efficacy, and
cancer-related knowledge for adolescents and young
adults with cancer. In addition, young people who
played Re-Mission maintained higher blood levels of
chemotherapy and showed higher rates of antibiotic
utilization than those in the control group,
indicating that Re-Mission helps patients adhere to
cancer therapy regimens.
