Healthy Kidz is a unique and innovative physical education and data analytics business. Founded in 2018, the company began by providing a four strand physical education programme in Northern Ireland primary schools that sought to get every child active, fit and healthy.In the wake of COVID-19, lack of routine, structure, motivation and / or nudges to exercise, coupled with increased calorie intakes mean that children in low income households are at significant risk of obesity and associated metabolic diseases.In response to the public health crisis, Healthy Kidz has already expedited the development of its mobile application and initiated a 'Global Challenge' which has been widely promoted by Healthy Kidz ambassadors (local sporting heroes including Ireland Rugby's Stephen Ferris) [https://healthy-kidz.com/healthy-kidz-global-challenge/][0]. More than 2,000 children have signed up to the Challenge across Ireland, the UK and internationally. However, given the significant risks posed to vulnerable children and their families, Healthy Kidz is now seeking investment to engage expertise in technology integration and machine learning to scale its offer, increase the breadth of metrics it captures, and develop tailored, automated motivation and physical activity advice via virtual reality to vulnerable children at home.[0]: https://healthy-kidz.com/healthy-kidz-global-challenge/

Healthy Kidz是一家独特而创新的体育教育和数据分析公司。该公司成立于2018年，最初在北方爱尔兰小学提供四链体育教育计划，旨在让每个孩子都活跃，健康和健康。在COVID-19之后，缺乏常规，结构，动力和/或推动运动，再加上卡路里摄入量的增加，意味着低收入家庭的儿童患肥胖症和相关代谢疾病的风险很大，为了应对公共卫生危机，Healthy Kidz已经加快了其移动的应用程序的开发，并发起了一项“全球挑战”，该挑战已被Healthy Kidz大使（当地的体育英雄，包括爱尔兰橄榄球队的Stephen Ferris）广泛推广[https：//healthy-kidz.com/healthy-kidz-global-challenge/][0]。爱尔兰、英国和国际上有2,000多名儿童报名参加了这项挑战。然而，考虑到弱势儿童及其家庭面临的重大风险，Healthy Kidz目前正在寻求投资，以利用技术集成和机器学习方面的专业知识，扩大其产品范围，增加其捕获的指标范围，并通过虚拟现实为家中的弱势儿童提供量身定制的自动化动机和身体活动建议。[0]：https://healthy-kidz.com/healthy-kidz-global-challenge/网站
