MFG Launches New Healthcare Games Initiative Including Funding
Under the banner GiG – Games & Gamification im Gesundheitswesen (games and gamification in healthcare), MFG Baden-Württemberg has launched a new initiative in collaboration with Biopro, the state agency for the healthcare industry. The initiative includes networking opportunities, knowledge exchange formats, and prototype funding.
The GiG initiative aims to bring together stakeholders from healthcare, science, the creative industries, education, and technology. Its goal is to unlock the potential of games and gamification in prevention, therapy, education, and health promotion. This new program builds on the experience of the GamesHub for Health / Life Science Heidelberg pilot project, which provided targeted support for start-ups developing serious games and gamification concepts for healthcare applications.
