Co-creating fun care: libre and open-source games for health, multiplayer and gamepads


Description

Without air pollution, our life expectancy would increase by 34 months. With a commons-based economy, each and every human could afford medical care (vs one in two today). How not to produce risks? How to foster mutual care?

We, people across regions and disciplines, get engaged to value pluralism and collective wisdom. We embrace play as a natural way to experiment, socialize, learn. We document and share our work so that everyone can freely use, study, improve, adapt it.

In traditional medtech, corporate experts build a technical tool to manage a disease. Sealed in a black box, its price make it unaffordable to some.

At Breathing Games, volunteer, diverse contributors co-create an evolving, rewarding, immersive story to promote holistic health. Free to use, study, improve, its gratuity helps develop solidarity.

Replicability

Since 2015, we foster the emergence of open methodologies, knowledge and technologies that are co-created and coordinated by the people, 
and aligned with the objectives, values and principles of the 2021 UNESCO recommendation on open science. We use a creation-as-research method and document and release our work under libre and open-source licences.


Sustainability

We build a knowledge commons (Ostrom) under a copyleft legal regime. When possible, we use existing infrastructures and limit energy consumption.


WSIS values promotion

A new culture of co-creation and research that build individual and collective capacity for self-determination. Technology to support solidarity, trust, and scientific integrity.
