Join fellow American Diabetes Association® (ADA) professional members for a live, one-hour panel discussion webinar, Leveling Up Patient Education: Virtual Reality, Storytelling, and Gamification in Chronic Disease Care. 

This webinar will explore how gamification and immersive technologies are transforming healthcare education and their emerging role in diabetes care. The speaker will review current evidence supporting game-based and immersive interventions in diabetes and chronic disease management, highlighting their impact on learning, skill development, and behavior change. Attendees will learn how to identify design features that drive meaningful educational outcomes and distinguish them from elements that increase engagement without improving results. The session will also examine how immersive, game-based environments enable repeated skill rehearsal and generate measurable learning data that traditional educational approaches cannot capture. The webinar will conclude with a live Q&A session, providing attendees with an opportunity to engage directly with the speaker.
