Games for Health Conference is Underway
The 6th Annual Games for Health Conference got underway today in Boston and will continue until May 27th. This year’s event is expected to draw a huge crowd of game developers, technology experts, health professionals, researchers, policy-makers and educators to advance digital interactive games and game technologies that can improve health and the delivery of health care.
RWJF Senior Vice President John Lumpkin, Paul Tarini Games for Health’s Ben Sawyer, Health Games Research Director Debra Lieberman and a handful of that program’s grantees will all be representing Pioneer in Boston this week.
As covered previously covered, there are some really cool presenters and sessions that shouldn’t be missed. But don’t worry if you can’t actually make it to the conference, as there are numerous ways you can follow along online:
· Twitter – We’ll be live tweeting highlights throughout the week. You can join the conversation by following the #gfh2010 hash tag.
· Facebook – Our page will have frequent updates from event participants.
· Pioneer Web site – Check regularly for special video content from the event.
· Pioneering Ideas – We’re hoping to get a couple of guest blogs up this week from Pioneer national program Health Games Research grantees.
We encourage you to join the conversation by letting us know your thoughts on how video games can improve health and lead to better care. Feel free to post a comment below or chime in on Twitter!
