Posted by Maren in medtech, social responsiblity on May 15th, 2009
We did it! The first official HealthCampSFBay event is happening on May 27th at Tech Liminal in Oakland! We are going to talk AND play health video games.
In 2008, the US gaming population totaled approximately 174 million, that’s almost 60% of the people in this country! Believe it or not, there is a growing movement to create games that can actually improve your health…
…come join the HealthCampSFBay team in exploring what’s developing on this exciting health gaming front – and then try out the games yourself! Healthy beer and snacks will be available as a panel of developers discuss their recent game projects on the Wii, iPhone, as well as PC. We’ll then open a few consoles for you to actually try the games out.
HealthCampSFBay is a group of passionate consumer-focused healthcare advocates trying to engage industry and the public in healthcare problem solving. This event is hosted at the newly opened Tech Liminal, a technology hotspot and salon in Downtown Oakland. Tech Liminal provides Internet services, training, and event space for small businesses and the local community, focusing on making technology accessible to everyone.
