Many serious games have been created to be applied in healthcare, in cure or in associated areas. In general, patients’ reactions are enthusiastic, their experiences are positive. On the other hand, medical professionals are reluctant to apply or even prescribe games in their daily practice. Why is this? Because they are not convinced about the effects of applied games. After all, they believe, games are for fun, not for a serious matter as healthcare. At this years’ conference special attention will be payed to validation in presentations and workshops. And there will be many opportunities for participants to play and test. Come and experience that games for health actually work!
