Health and Wellbeing Queensland have launched their new interactive online app Podsquad! Podsquad is a free, play-based wellbeing program aimed at children aged 5 to 12 and families to support building healthy habits together! Curated by childhood health experts and co-designed by over 300 QLD families, the interactive app explores topics including nutrition, physical activity, and wellbeing across the family unit. The app works by taking users on an ‘adventure’ exploring different interactive worlds with activities, videos, and quizzes to support their learning on exercise, nutrition, and sleep.
The app has activities for the whole family as it also includes podcast episodes, recipes, guided meditation and habit tracking tools for parents and carers which is a great addition for the My Health for Life program, another Health and Wellbeing Queensland funded initiative. My Health for Life aims to support participants to learn about and initiate healthy lifestyle changes to reduce their risk of chronic disease. My Health for Life and Podsquad together can support the whole family unit towards living a healthier life.
