Gaming fundraising in support of research: the case of Stream4AISM and DIGICOG-MS®

Stream4AISM is the first gaming fundraising project in Italy conceived and realised in order to raise funds to finance AISM's innovative scientific research projects on multiple sclerosis.  Thanks to the support of more than 100 streamers, the project managed to finance the realisation of the DIGICOG-MS® project; an app for the self-assessment and monitoring of cognitive functioning. The aim of Stream4AISM is therefore to combine live streaming and charity with the aim of informing and raising awareness on an extremely important issue such as scientific research.
