Because Games Matter - Jane the Concussion Slayer

You might remember Jane McGonigal from our earlier episode about games helping the world & she was kind enough to share more of her story! Back in 2009 she hit her head and got a concussion. But unfortunately, the concussion didn't heal quickly and Jane was forced to deal with Post Concussion Syndrome. This made it difficult to remember things, difficult to read or write, and frequent headaches. To make matters worse, it was difficult to express these symptoms to friends & family. But Jane McGonigal ended up using that trauma to create a game to help herself, and other people also suffering: Superbetter.
