The Hero’s Call is a virtual reality experience that gamifies pediatric cancer treatment by transporting children and teens to fantasy worlds during needle-based procedures. The goal is to reduce psychological pain and make cancer treatment less traumatic by synchronizing real-world procedures with immersive VR narratives. Patients become the heroes of their own journey, using play and imagination as powerful tools for healing. The project is in the final stages of ethics committee approval, and is set to transition from being just a game to becoming a recognized psychotherapeutic treatment. It is currently in use at Hospital de Amor — the largest cancer center in Latin America — and is being accelerated by Harena Inovação, the hospital's innovation hub. We are seeking investors and strategic partners to help scale this transformative technology and positively impact even more lives through the power of games.
