Health games - or games with a focus on health, healthcare, and well-being - are interactive virtual worlds for playing, training, and learning, often in a form of simulation. They are used for instance to train for rehabilitation, train for prevention, assessment of health condition, and learn facts and skills.

Using game elements such as posing challenges, giving feedback, offering different levels, and providing social relations, users can play, train, and learn in a safe environment.

This symposium, organised by the Utrecht Research Focus Area Game Research, brings together experts in the fields of game design and development, psychology, neuro science, physiotherapy, and data and computer science. The program offers presentations from politics and government, developers and companies, and medical experts. A demo market will offer a range of life game demos. The precise program with information about the speakers and their projects will be provided soon at https://www.uu.nl/agenda/symposium-health-games.

Participation is free of costs, please register by announcing your presence at <gameresearch at uu.nl>.
