Ask young kids what it\u2019s like to get a shot or go to the doctor, and you\u2019re likely to get some frowns. Two students in the interactive entertainment master\u2019s program<\/a> at UCF, Christine Wright and James Gaiser, wanted to change that.<\/p>\n

Their invention, \u201cBoo Boo Snap\u201d is a prototype for an app on your smartphone that projects 3-D images, talking characters and medical advice onto regular bandages. Their idea was developed April 13-14 at the inaugural MeGa Health Jam, where it was awarded \u201cFirst Place\u201d by a panel of medical experts and game developers.<\/p>\n

The app was chosen from 17 projects created at the local event, which gave professional and amateur game developers 48 hours to prototype a game, technology or app to be used in healthcare. As part of their winnings, the team won free booth space at future local tech events, legal and medical consulting services and access to office space.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe judges loved it because it\u2019s hi-tech but also really low-tech with the Band-Aids,\u201d Gaiser says. \u201cAnd one of the most common causes of infection in hospitals is improper changing of bandages.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I thought of the concept I was only hoping to make something my niece would go crazy over,\u201d Wright says.\u00a0\u201cBut as the game jam progressed, we spoke to medical specialists who told us that this idea could improve health care across all ages. That inspired us to develop \u2018Boo Boo Snap\u2019 into something that improves the health care industry.\u201d<\/p>\n

MeGa Health Jam\u2019s goal was to unite the central Florida medical community with the video game community to help solve some of health care\u2019s most urgent problems.<\/p>\n

Gaiser and Wright might have done that as well as make some kids smile.<\/p>\n
