Games for Health Europe Conference

Join up with healthcare professionals, scientists, policy makers and game developers to create new opportunities for healthcare with games & play.

Games

Play is a natural motivator.

When we have fun, we train harder, stick to routines better, open our minds to new ideas. Play lowers stress, fear, loneliness.

Join us in Eindhoven and see the power of play for yourself.

Health

Healthcare needs a new approach: one that makes full use of our motivation to play.

Think of games that increase self-management skills in patients, teach patients to cope with chronic conditions, and train specialist skills in healthcare professionals.

"The enthusiasm and the innovation of the participants and the audience is different to other 'tech' conventions I have been to.

It really feels like a place where projects are made, business is being done and where a family of worldwide enthusiasts come together to freely talk about how we are going to move games in the healthcare industry forward."
