Litesprite is bringing gamification to mental health. It's an innovation in healthcare that allows patients dealing with mental health issues to obtain therapy outside of sessions with mental health providers, while giving feedback and data to those same providers.

Creative Director Sean Watson describes how Sinesprite the company's primary game, allows patients to do things like journal, reflect, and decompress with evidence-based relaxation techniques when they have a mental episode.
