Humana Inc. (NYSE: HUM) announced today the addition of several new
games to its Games for Health website: www.humanagames.com.
In partnership with HAPPYneuron and Playnormous, Humana is pleased to
offer these free online games that engage consumers in ways that are not
only entertaining but also healthy.
HAPPYneuron games help with brain fitness through entertaining games
that are fun and scientifically developed to challenge your brain and
keep it in top gear. The games are designed to stimulate your attention,
language, memory, planning and abstract-thinking skills. Playnormous is
an online community for children, parents and teachers that uses fun as
a way to inform, educate, and inspire children to make healthier
lifestyle choices regarding nutrition and physical activity. It’s a site
where monsters are the good guys and the games are kid-tested and
parent-approved.
“We know that a healthier lifestyle doesn’t have to be boring and these
games are a perfect way for consumers to connect health with a
technology they already enjoy,” said Paul Puopolo, director of consumer
innovation at Humana. “With childhood obesity on the rise, games like Lunch
Crunch and Bubble Trouble give kids the lessons in health
they need but present the message in an entertaining way – through a
little friendly competition online. We also know that baby boomers are
looking for ways to keep their minds young, so games like Split Words
and Entangled Objects help with cognitive functions and attention
skills – exercises that so many adults need.”
The games are now available for free on Humana’s Games for Health
website at www.humanagames.com.
