Participate-to-earn patient empowerment platform grows presence in the Metaverse to educate children and their families about disease hacking in the biotech century, giving new meaning to Stayin' Alive.

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 17, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Bento Biology Platforms, in partnership with Play2Learn.com, continues its immersive health-based experience in the Metahug Roblox World by promoting a "#GivingThanks DISCO" dance and design competition that will see participants compete for Robux and other prizes, including Bento's Hello Biology personal microbiome data collection kit. The competition will take place between November 14th and November 30th, in honor of Thanksgiving Day on November 24th and on the international Giving Tuesday on Tuesday, November 29th.

The #GivingThanks DISCO challenge highlights Bento Biology's DISCO, a digital environment that incentivizes gamified disease hacking across decentralized communities. Bento's DISCO protocol uses smart contracts and a participate-to-earn and play-to-learn token model to put shared value economic principles into practice through self-executing code. Early adopters, distrustful of D2C companies like 23&me, see Bento as a means to participate in the biotech economy as true partners in the quest for cures and individualized medicine.

The Bento DISCO has a specially choreographed disco dance you can see across Bento social media or dance in the MetaHug Roblox World with 50,000 robux in prizes giveway. The MetaHug dao community was created to help children with limited resources to reimagine their lives with new children-centric directions. MetaHug supports their journey by introducing innovative technology such as gamified Web3 and health education; an initiative with Bento Biology to play out in the Roblox MetaHug World.

According to Joshua Johnson, the co-founder of Play2Learn, "we are a brand scaling a new industry called Gamified Education to help gamify core concepts and knowledge into games. By partnering with Bento Biology, we are sure that interest, trust, and participation in health and wellness awarness will surge in young people and families; this is akin to the Monopoly game bringing awareness to real estate."

"We are thrilled to expand our presence in the Metahug Roblox World. Our Halloween competition reached an international community with a deep curiosity about gamifying biomedical research. We imagine disease discovery in the future as a massive multiplayer online game that accelerates health equity through Web3 technologies and platforms. We are leading the way with the DISCO Protocol, which enables self-sovereignty of biological data and participate-to-earn economics in service to community disease hacking. Roblox is the perfect environment and Play2Learn the perfect partner for engaging these communities and making them aware of our new approach for biodata ownership," said Dr. Kelly McVearry, co-founder and CEO of Bento Biology.

About Bento Biology
Bento Biology Platforms, Inc. is devoted to tackling the longstanding problem of achieving diversity in clinical trials, human genomics research, and precision medicine.

With the Bento DISCO (Decentralized Interactions for Shared-value Community 'Omics) Protocol, they are building tools and environments to enable everyone to participate in the biotech economy as data owners, not donors.
