Summary: 
A UK award winning start-up is developing an app that helps families with children aged 4-12 to improve their health in a fun and simple way through gamification based content covering exercise, nutrition, and mental health. The UK company seeks schools, educational institutions, and non-profit organisations to co-design features and validate health related impacts through a commercial agreement with technical assistance.
Description: 
The UK start-up has developed a tool to improve family wellbeing through an app which combines intergenerational, out-of-screen activities and gamification features which maximise engagement, bringing families together to spend quality time, exercising more, eating better, and improving their overall mental health. The app is based on over 160 health activities and personalised avatars allowing each family to gamify their experience and track progress. It features personalised, animated avatars allowing each family to track progress, level up, and earn badges for added motivation and long-term engagement. With this app, families have an effective, enjoyable and accessible tool, which contains over 160 health activities, designed to help them to effortlessly exercise more, eat better, and take care of their mental health, such as fun workouts, collective recipes and family mindfulness activities. It combines this extensive variety of simple and engaging activities with gamification. It does so through their own animated avatars allowing each family to track progress, go up levels, earn badges and more for added motivation and long-term engagement. It relieves families of the significant challenge of trying to improve and maintain good health on their own, reducing unnecessary stress, and promoting quality time together through easily accessing engaging healthy activities they can do together - anytime, anywhere. The app fulfils the gap in the market for a digital family health solution which is long overdue. Without the app families will continue to have limited support to care of their family's health along with all the responsibility of parenthood. Through the apps unique function, positive social impacts entail improved physical and mental health, social inclusion of all family members and health education. Over 50 of users have already stated these impacts through testimonials, promoting a better home environment, subsequently increasing mental health. The company is interested in partnering with entities in the space of education and healthcare, including but not limited to schools, education institutions, non-profit organisations, and governmental actors supporting families. Partners should be willing to test and validate the app to ascertain positive impact on the health and wellbeing of users and potentially co-design innovative features. In this context, a commercial agreement with technical assistance is sought.
Type (e.g. company, R&D institution…), field of industry and Role of Partner Sought: 
Partners sought include entities in the space of education and healthcare, including but not limited to schools, education institutions, non-profit organisations, and governmental actors supporting families.

As part of the partnership the UK company will transfer their app technology which is helping families with children aged 4-12 to improve their health in a fun and simple way through gamification based content covering exercise, nutrition, and mental health. In return the UK company expects the partner to test, validate and distribute the technology amongst relevant users (families with young children). The role of the partner sought is to use the app to positively impact the health and wellbeing of users and collect data on its usage and impact in order to further adapt and improve the technology.
