Breathe Healthy Interactive: Gaming Your Way to Wellness, One Breath at a Time

My team and I are delighted to introduce you to Breathe Healthy Interactive, a startup born out of UC Berkeley with a mission to transform health care through pioneering digital games. We aim to empower individuals to cultivate mindfulness and well-being, one breath at a time.

Our all UC Berkeley team, comprised of a physician, a healthcare consultant, and product and game designers recognized a common challenge: the overlooked practice of deep, slow breathing. Despite its health benefits, many find it difficult to incorporate into their daily routines. The question was, "How can we make this health practice more engaging and habitual?" Thus, Breathe Healthy Interactive emerged from the spirit of entrepreneurship at UC Berkeley.

Our vision is to inspire a global shift in mental and physical health care. We see a future where digital gaming becomes a pivotal tool for personal well-being, making mindfulness practices accessible, enjoyable, and a part of daily life for millions, one game at a time.

With this vision in mind, we've crafted a unique blend of casual mobile gaming and health-focused practices. Whether you're a casual mobile gamer seeking an enriching twist or someone striving to improve their overall wellness in both the mental and physical health domains, Breathe Healthy Interactive has been designed for you.

We're proud to announce the completion of an alpha version of our first game (tentative title Pollen), soon to be available for iPhone users. This is a sneak peek into the future we envision – a world where users can play, learn, and breathe their way to better health.

As we gear up for the launch of our alpha version, we're inviting early users to join us in this transformative journey. We're eager to hear your feedback, which will be pivotal in refining our product. Please sign up at www.breathehealthyinteractive.com

Furthermore, we're excited to announce that we'll be starting a weekly blog post series right here on LinkedIn. We'll delve into our founding story, the science of deep breathing, insights into our alpha game, and much more.

So, join a community that believes in the synergy of technology, health, and fun. We believe that wellness should be an enjoyable pursuit, and we're thrilled to invite you to be part of this exciting journey.

Thank you for your interest, support, and anticipation as we work diligently to deliver our product. Stay tuned for more updates and weekly blog posts, and we look forward to welcoming you to the world of Breathe Healthy Interactive!

To a healthier, more enjoyable future,

James Xu MD, MPH
