dc.description.abstractVirtual communities and their benefits have been widely exploited to support patients, caregivers, families and healthcare providers. The complexity of the social organization evolved the concept of virtual community to social networks, exploring the establishment of ties and relations between people. These technological platforms provide a way to keep up with your connections network, through a set of communication and interaction tools. Games, as social interactive technologies have great potential, ensuring a supportive community, and thereby reducing the social isolation. Serious social health games bring forward several research challenges. This paper examines the potential benefits of the triad “health-serious games-social networks” and discusses some research challenges and opportunities of the liaison of serious health games and social networks.por
