Monkeystack work with a broad range of people with lived experience, service organisations, researchers and health practitioners to produce animations, experiences and serious games for health and education purposes.
We understand that no two needs are the same. We produce appropriate solutions that drive a connection between the project and audience and deliver efficacy.
We’ve worked across mental health and wellbeing, autism and other neural diversity, physical education, cardiac health and self assessment, physical disability and patient distraction.
Educational driven experiences.
