Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Announces Aligning Forces for Quality Games to Generate Data Challenge

The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation has announced the Aligning Forces for Quality (AF4Q) Games to Generate Data Challenge.

The competitive program challenges developers to create game applications that generate healthcare -quality data that can be used to improve health and health care.

The Games Challenge is the second in a series of innovation competitions sponsored by the foundation through its AF4Q initiative. The first "app challenge" focused on creating applications to improve patient access to healthcare-quality information.

In the new game challenge, competing developers will build on data from RWJF's AF4Q initiative, County Health Rankings & Roadmaps program, and other databases to create game applications that engage patients and health providers in generating new quality data. In addition, the Game Challenge requires participating developers to provide a means for the data generated to be directed toward healthcare improvement.

Developed game applications must be designed to encourage participants to compete or collaborate to improve personal health while simultaneously contributing to the overarching goal of maximizing their community's health.

The winner will receive $100,000. The second- and third-place winners will receive $50,000 and $25,000, respectively.
