About this Event

Fusing Gameplay & Healthcare

Join us for an in-depth conversation and exploration of compelling story-driven experiences that fuse interactive technology, clinical insights, and user-centric narrative design to reimagine how we play games. Get inspired by how creators are responding to social challenges through their projects and creating imaginative pathways for driving positive outcomes.

After the session, you will have the opportunity to experience interactive demos, and take part in an exclusive tour of the University Health Network’s KITE Research Institute, which is leveraging technologies like virtual reality, motion capture and simulation environments to advance health research. Tour capacity is limited so please to reserve your spot today.

The KITE Research Institute is a world leader in complex rehabilitation dedicated to improving the lives of people living with the effects of disability, illness and aging. This session is presented by KITE Creates – a new program at UHN that is bringing together diverse creatives, health researchers and health ventures to explore how fields like gaming, immersive media and fashion/wearable technology can be leveraged to support better health and accessibility.
