> 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 of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation is the lead  

> conference sponsor and a 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

> and health care. Topics include exergaming, physical therapy,
