Games for Health is a series of conferences made possible in part by funding from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation as part of their Pioneer Portfolio program. Games for Health is a part of the Serious Games Initiative. There is also a Games for Health, peer-reviewed journal, which was launched in February 2012.

The conference has received media attention in recent years for its work to showcase the health and research implications of video games.[1][2][3]
