Publications etc on Games for Health
Project
This work is part of SAGE an ongoing national level
project to investigate the potential use of games and simulations in
health funded by mainly by SSHRC (Social Sciences and Humanities Research
Council of Canada), with some help from CHIR (Medical) and NSERC (Natural
Sciences and Engineering) Funding agencies as well.
The Dalhousie SAGE group also works with
Roberta
Woodgate and Irani Pourang on building a game reflecting feeling
states for children with cancer.
