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 to teach 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, organized 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 game researchers, developers, companies, and medical experts. A demo market offers a range of live game demos.
