In the early Spring 2010 a meeting of the minds took place at Stanford University. Mette’s initial idea excited the folks at Katalabs, who developed the technology that could make things real.
Mette Terp Høybye 
Working with the use of internet based support and other web-based resources for adult cancer patients for the past 10 years, Mette Terp Høybye had been intrigued by the outcomes of the Remission study. A firm believer in the power of social networks, her idea is to integrate the powerful potential of games with the power of social relations in the shape of a virtual environment for young people with cancer. Mette is founder and principal investigator of the BE community project and ties together the innovative and entrepreneurial development with the experience we draw from our partners.
