Neuria is a spin-off from the University of Fribourg which develops innovative digital therapies to improve public health. His team, made up of neuroscience experts and video game professionals, has developed “The Dinner”, a game that allows you to gradually give up your bad eating habits. In “The Dinner”, the player has to select healthy food as quickly as possible and avoid clicking on junk food. This patented mechanism of action gradually modulates the responses of the brain’s motivation and reward systems through repetition. Each time the player refrains from selecting an unhealthy food in the game and is rewarded for doing so, he or she gradually loses the desire to consume the same food in real life.
