This is a very confusing article. How is the game helping cure TB? They say that people playing the game could help simulate a drug trial - but what good is simulating a drug trial? Don't you actually need to still test the drugs for real?
All I can figure is the game is trying to find better ways to manage resources for these treatments and trials. That or it's training algorithms to identify TB? I'm really not sure how this game helps, perhaps that is by design, though.
If you keep everyone indoors playing games, they won't meet and spread TB. Problem solved!
I was hopeing that it'd be gamified protein folding.
