SuperBetter is an app that is designed to strengthen your mind and body by giving you the tools necessary to make it to your personal goals. The creator of the game, Jane McGonigal, suffered through a concussion that had difficulties healing and realized the potential for this type of game that connects people through fitness and recovery goals.
"SuperBetter helps you achieve your health goals — or recover from an illness or injury — by increasing your personal resilience. Resilience means staying curious, optimistic and motivated even in the face of the toughest challenges," the SuperBetter description reads. Check it out in the AppStore to try the game out for yourself.
