I want to talk about Games for Health today, a movement that aims to bring serious gaming and healthcare together in order to contribute to more advanced healthcare. It started in 2004 and it promotes communities, knowledge and business development using cutting-edge games and game technologies to improve healthcare. In this congress you will find researchers, healthcare professionals and game designers come together to put their minds and share their knowledge about the impact games have on healthcare.
Recently, in October 2011 the first European Games for Health event happened. This was a special event where the Dutch Game Awards were also given away, which includes an award for the best Serious Game (game with a pedagogical purpose). In another post I’ll talk more about Health Games that we can find today. If you are interested to learn more about Games for Health here are some links:

I am a passionate healthcare professional with expertise in digital health. I have a Bachelor in Nursing and a Master's degree in Cognitive Systems and Interactive Media; and have worked in various healthcare settings, including hospitals and home care. My experience has given me a unique perspective on the challenges and opportunities that arise when implementing digital technologies in healthcare. On this blog, I share insights and practical tips for other healthcare professionals and curious individuals who may be struggling to keep up with the rapid pace of technological change. Additionally, I have presented at conferences and published research on the use of technology in nursing and healthcare. I work hard to improve patient care through innovative digital solutions!
