FeedHenry and My Healthy World Partner for a Mobile Strategy to Spread Health and Wellness Education to Children

FeedHenry (News - Alert) (FH), an Irish cloud-hosted platform provider with enterprise mobility solutions, announced its partnership with My Healthy World (MHW), Inc., a company based in Bethesda MD that has a health e-platform with standards-based instruction to facilitate an educational curriculum for “children [to] undertake their own ‘voyage of discovery’ toward healthier living.”

The MHW curriculum includes project-based learning exercises that “value healthy habits and lifestyles.”

It uses a set of three distinct mobile applications called Eat Healthy, Live Healthy and Stay Healthy. Yet, it is designed to be a “game-changing learning tool” to empower kids to eat, stay and live healthy. In short, this is a program with nutrition, fitness and preventive care information to give knowledge and awareness to kids of all ages.

The program takes an integrated approach to teaching young individuals about living a healthy lifestyle—aligned carefully with National Health Education Standards—to also address proper dieting and exercise as well in order to “tackle the implications of growing child obesity,” explained  Nelson Rosenbaum, founder and CEO of My Healthy World, Inc.

This is said to be a healthcare project designed for the young population. The agreement was that FH would provide the technology platform and the cloud-based mobile solutions to host the MHW innovative application, which contains a full learning management system to be run either on the Web or on mobile devices.

As it turns out, the Irish company has provided the mobile initiatives to deploy the app across all major mobile devices, to include smartphones and tablets.

My Healthy World said that its application and e-curriculum has gone through beta testing and confirms it is now ready for general distribution to U.S. elementary and middle schools.

Cathal McGloin (News - Alert), CEO of FeedHenry, said the company was delighted to be a part of such an exciting healthcare project. He acknowledged the fact that the partnership made it possible to give U.S. schools across America the education technology to integrate the MHW digital curriculum and promote health and wellness education to school-age children.
