Video Game Life Coach for Digital Divas

— May 24, 2007 — Tech
Straighten your crooked life in three months with digital life coaching. New for the Nintendo DS is the Female Power DS Game presented by Anan, a Japanese women's magazine.

Body image problems? No romance? Beautiful, Cute, Strong. It's got you covered. Well, it does if you are a young working woman from Japan. I'm not quite sure how all of this is going to translate for the rest of us.

The new roster includes My Happy Manner Book, DS Therapy, Female Power Emergency Up! and Yoga Anywhere. Hmmm . . . that Female Power Emergency Up! sounds like an energy drink for that time of the month.

They've got my attention, but my thumbs are another matter. We are on a watch to see if this trend translates to other female markets.
Trend Themes
1. Digital Life Coaching - Offering digital life coaching via video games and other platforms presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the coaching and self-help industries.
2. Video Game Therapy - Creating video games for mental health and therapy purposes could disrupt the healthcare and gaming industries by offering an alternative approach to traditional therapy.
3. Personal Development Games - Developing video games aimed specifically at personal development, such as improving self-esteem or relationship skills, could create a new market and disrupt the gaming industry.
Industry Implications
1. Coaching - The coaching industry can explore and develop new digital coaching platforms, such as video games and mobile apps, to provide personalized coaching experiences.
2. Self-help - The self-help industry can leverage digital platforms, such as video games and mobile apps, to make personal growth and development more accessible and engaging for users.
3. Healthcare - The healthcare industry can explore video games and other digital platforms as potential tools for mental health and therapy treatment, creating a new approach to healthcare that is more engaging for patients.
