*ABOUT GAMES FOR HEALTH*
Founded in 2004, the Games for Health Project supports community,
knowledge, and business development efforts to use cutting-edge games and
game technologies to improve health and health care. The Pioneer Portfolio

major supporter of the Games for Health Project. To date, the project has
brought together researchers, medical professionals, and game developers to
share information about the impact games and game technologies can have on
health, health care, and policy.

A major effort of the Games for Health Project is the annual Games for
Health Conference. Over three days, more than 400 attendees will
participate in over 60 sessions provided by an international array of 80+

care. Topics include exergaming, physical therapy, disease management,
