GAMES ARE FUN!  :-)       pamphlets are boring  :-(

We're revolutionizing how easy - and fun - it is to learn about health.
"Bringing Hollywood to Healthcare!"

(Hey…combining entertainment and education worked pretty well for the folks at Sesame Street, right? Well, we’re doing it for health…and for people of all ages!)

We’re Health Nuts Media (HNM) and Blausen Medical and together we’re creating awesome videos, games, and apps to change the way people learn about their health. Think of it this way: If HNM is chocolate and Blausen is peanut butter, together we’re making the most amazing, mind-blowing confection of art and science that the world has ever seen! Our first joint project is called “Huff & Puff: The Asthma App.” We need your help to raise $90,000 to create this cool app (the first of many fun health apps to come!) 

Backstory

Between HNM and Blausen, we’ve already created much of the content that will be featured in this first app, including hours of video, hundreds of illustrations, tons of interactive 3D models, and loads of other cool stuff. 

Health Nuts Media makes complex health issues easy to understand – and fun! – with the combined efforts of its Emmy Award-winning writers, directors, animators, actors and designers with some of the brightest and most tech-savvy doctors, nurses and educators in the world. Blausen Medical creates award-winning 3D animations which combine stunning visual drama with unwavering scientific accuracy. 

The money we raise for this app will go to create this chocolate/peanut butter powerhouse combo for health learning that is actually fun for audiences of all ages.  We will be using lots of our great content and are creating three (3) BRAND NEW GAMES to help people better understand asthma, anatomy, and how to take care of themselves.  

These games are fun with a purpose!

Here’s some of the content we’ve already created for the app:

Huff & Puff: An Asthma Tale

A 7-part series that delivers essential asthma information with a story that is fun for the whole family. It begins when the Big Bad Wolf huffs…and puffs…and has an asthma attack!

Check out the WHOLE series! (Note - it opens in a new window)

  Blausen Human Atlas

Blausen’s World-Famous

3-D Human Body Atlas

The Blausen Human Atlas HD app provides a lavish 3D visual health concept education experience.  Filled with breathtaking (pun intended) videos, images, and interactive 3D elements, this immersive experience makes learning anatomy fun and easy for people of all ages.   “Huff & Puff: The Asthma App” will include the entire respiratory system subset of Blausen’s Human Body Atlas.   

 

 

 And Now... 3 BRAND NEW Games!

A growing body of research shows that games can drive engagement and participation, improve understanding, increase adherence, and ultimately deliver better health outcomes.  And face it…people love to play games.  So let the games begin!

 

Air Traffic ControlAir Traffic Control 

                     Attention Adventure Seekers!

  •  - Stay Cool Under Pressure?
  •  - Deliver Air Cargo Safely?
  •  - Keep Complex Routes Flowing Smoothly?

Trigger FingerTrigger Finger

          Reward!!!

Asthma Triggers Wanted, Dead or Deceased!

For disturbing the peace, inflaming airways, attacking lungs, exacerbating bronchus, and other ornery and mischievous acts, these Asthma Outlaws, desperados, thieves, crooks, villains, thugs, bandits and no-good low-down varmints are hereby barred from civil society.

These Triggers should be considered armed and legged and dangerous!  They are clever and always looking to attack.  Bring them to justice, and prove once and for all that YOU have the fastest Trigger Finger in the West!

 

Tic Tac BloTic Tac Blo

                          Don’t Get Blown Away!

Will the Big Bad Wolf blow your house down?  It all comes down to a battle of wits!

Put your asthma knowledge to the test in this fast-paced game of strategy and smarts.  If you know your facts you’ll give Big an epic smack down of fairy tale proportions.  But if you don’t, look out!  He’s going to blow your house down!!  Oh yes, my little piggy!

Think you know all there is to know about taking care of your asthma?  Let’s find out!  Because if you do, the next time mean old Mr. Asthma comes knockin’, you can tell him “Not by the hair of my chinny chin chin!”
