Alvio
A breath of fresh app
The Challenge
Alvio's innovative approach to treating children's respiratory issues was an exciting opportunity to build a digital experience that is not only delightful but has a big positive impact. Initially developed and designed at R/GA Ventures, its device and game allows kids to practice inhaling and exhaling and exercise their lungs while playing, controlling the avatar with their breathing. To complete the process, it needed to address a whole mix of additional issues, from various types of users (kids, parents, doctors), the game's reaction to the input from the device, ergonomics (using the device and tablet together), combining medical requirements with gamification, and more.
