Last year, UnitedHealthcare announced a partnership with Konami to bring
the classroom version of its DanceDanceRevolution exergame to a pilot
group of schoolchildren in Florida, Georgia, and Texas. Now
UnitedHealthcare is continuing that pilot, adding a fourth school in
Southern California. The company is also starting a new pilot with
another big name in the kids’ digital health space — social activity
tracker platform Zamzee. Join
for Me is a 12-month community program geared towards helping overweight
and obese 6 to 17-year-olds lose weight and reduce their risk of Type 2
diabetes. According to Henderson, Zamzee activity trackers will be
given to both children and parents to help encourage movement and
activity while participants are at home or school and away from the
YMCA-based program. The pilot will collect data comparing kids who used
Zamzee with other kids in the Join for Me program. More
