Scope

At the heart of the SEGAH conference lies a commitment to advancing the field of health and healthcare through innovative solutions and technologies. Our primary objectives are:

1. Facilitating In-Depth Discussions: We aim to create a dynamic platform where experts, researchers, and practitioners can engage in meaningful discussions. These dialogues focus on the latest advancements, challenges, and future directions in the areas of serious games and their applications in health and healthcare.

2. Promoting Knowledge Exchange: The conference serves as a nexus for sharing a wealth of knowledge, experiences, and scientific findings. This exchange is pivotal in driving forward the understanding and implementation of serious games as effective tools in healthcare education, training, and treatment.

3. Showcasing Cutting-Edge Solutions: SEGAH is not just about discussions; it's also a showcase for the latest products and technologies. We provide a stage for demonstrating advanced solutions that are shaping the future of healthcare through serious games.

4. Cultivating a Community of Innovation: By bringing together diverse perspectives from across the globe, the conference fosters a collaborative environment. This community is dedicated to exploring and realizing the potential of serious games in revolutionizing health and healthcare practices.
Join us at SEGAH to be part of this transformative journey, where technology meets healthcare to create impactful and lasting change.

Best paper awards will be distributed during the conference closing session.

Workshops, Tutorials as well as Demonstrations dedicated to other technical and scientific topics are in preparation: companies interested in presenting their products and methodologies or researchers interested in holding a tutorial are invited to contact the conference secretariat.
