Creating magic together

We are a company who believes in empowering people to make healthy decisions and take control of their lifestyle. Through relevant data and mobile services we give them insights into their personal health, as well as tools which help them enjoy life to the fullest.

During the Hackathon we want you to help us take this to the next level.
If you have an open attitude, the courage to be different, plenty of new ideas and the bold spirit, then let’s team up and make some magic!

Giving data real impact

 

Use the power of mix and match to develop something truly impactful with our data.

We have the technology to help people measure and monitor their movements, activities and food intake. But how can we channel this so it can be used to make healthier decisions? And can the data be used in a smarter way to generate more insights about behavior and habits?

App ideas

Smart online or mobile tools to locate medicine, shopping tips and symptom recognition services.

Crowdsourcing Health

How can our social environment help us live healthier lifestyles and enable (elderly and disabled) people to stay independent for longer?

Parent Helper

Health Coach

How can we support people to make better-informed decisions based on sensor and shopping data?

Gamifying Health

Healthy weekly menu generator

Can we provide healthy menu inspiration by making a weekly program for recipes and an automatic shopping list generator?
