Funniest Idea

The project that made everyone laugh the most!

Munich RE- Best Health Hack

Small, everyday changes can have a huge impact on your long-term health. Design a product / application / game that could nudge people in the healthier direction. It can be a virtual pet that you need to walk, a fitness game, a posture tracker, laugh frequency tracker or whatever cool idea you could come up with. You can be creative about what dimension of health you choose to tackle, and on what/how data can be used to fuel your idea. Winners will be awarded $1000 worth of Visa gift cards that you and your teammates can decide on how to split, as well as an immediate consideration for interviews at our Munich RE Integrated Analytics team!

We will be judging on the projects on impact, creativity, presentation, and technical completeness / complexity. It will also be an extra plus if ethical / legal considerations are included, especially thinking of where things could go wrong and how it could be safeguarded.
