Description: 

The 9th Annual Games for Health Conference is June 26-28, 2013 in Boston, MA at the Back Bay Events Center.

 

"Games for Health routinely sees 400-500 attendees across three days of events comprised of game developers, health professionals, investors, researchers, and health industry stakeholders.  Attendees come mostly from all over the United States but are often joined by representatives from over a dozen countries around the globe.  Many attendees are from large organizations including public tech & health companies, major insurers, large research universities, and game development studios big & small."

"The great aspect of the Games for Health Conference is its diversity.  You will see ideas, demos, research, and new startups that comprise a wide spectrum of health-related applications of games & game technologies.  This includes efforts for personal health, neurotherapeutics, exercise & sensorimotor rehab, to nutrition, healthcare training, and epidemiology, the Games for Health Conference features a total gamut of activity.  Our efforts are to bring you not only this wide range of activity but also the best-practices across it all.  Amongst all this activity talks cover basic issues in building, deploying, and researching the applications of games in health & healthcare.  Increasingly as the field matures we’re also seeing more emphasis on business development and distribution as work moves from formative and experimental stages to full-scale deployment and sustainable business development."
