Upgraded Database Offers Powerful New Ways to Search for Health Games, Publications, Organizations, and Other Resources
Health Games Research,
a national program of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s Pioneer
Portfolio, released an update to the largest publicly available database
in the field to make it easier to find related health games, research
publications, organizations, and events with a simple search.
From
parents and caregivers who find games to help their loved ones manage
their illnesses, to researchers who find collaborators focused on their
line of study, the database meets a variety of needs across the health
games field—needs that will only increase as the field continues to
grow. RWJF

- institutions are duty-bound to provide ethics education to purchasers and users, and should commit publicly to standards of corporate conduct; and
- vendors, system purchasers, and users should encourage and assist in each others’ efforts to adopt best practices.
