One of the long-term goals of this iPad Initiative is to teach the participants to use the iPads as a tool to help them improve their health. One of the greatest challenges of living on their own is maintaining a healthy diet and exercise routine. This weekend I will be introducing an app called, "Eat-And-Move-O-Matic". It is a a health education app that allows you to search a food item and see how much exercise you would have to do to burn off the calories from that item. The app is easy to navigate and the concept is simple. Although this may not result in immediate health outcomes for our participants, it is an important tool for educating themselves about different types of food they put in their bodies and the impact of different types of exercise.
