Health Education

Games have the ability to engage and challenge people of all ages, they have the ability to help individuals manage chronic illnesses, support physical rehabilitation and contribute to changes in health behaviors. Doctors, nurses, rehabilitation specialists, and other health professionals are also using games and game technologies to advance their skills and enhance how they deliver care and services. The acceptance of games as a valuable health management and training method and popular success of consoles such as Wii and Kinect as well as the growth of smartphone game applications indicate that there is a big potential for continuing to move health and behavior change activities beyond the traditional clinical settings and into the consumers' home, work and social settings.
