Within the health care sector, there is an increasing need for insight in the use and effectiveness of serious games. From the game industry, there is a need for an overview of all challenges health care organizations are facing, for which game developers can offer solutions via serious games.
To that end, an online platform is set up, which offers a collection of knowledge that is translated into a form that can be absorbed by the target group. That knowledge comes from interviews in the field as well as from a compilation of recent scientific publications and research projects on used methodologies in effectiveness research of serious games, best practices and directions regarding serious game design. Summarizing documents are drawn up, as well as outline cards, templates, manuals and other tools, which facilitate both sectors to efficiently and constructively work together and communicate.
The platform also contains a forum where both sectors can consult on new assignments. The project is in preparation since September 2012 and, after approval of the grant application, its actual execution starts in September 2013, and this for a period of two years.
