Hervey Bay couple's health technology tips are winners 

Published on 30 August, 2011 

Hervey Bay couple Craig and Kathryn Huckins were glad they attended Open Day at Bundaberg Campus, as they won a competition for the best ideas about 'using technology to promote health'.

Campus staff from the health promotion field used a Wii game as a tool to encourage people to participate in an activity and invited them to enter the competition to win an IPod Shuffle.

Some of the Huckins' suggestions were:

. Zumba DVDs/ Wii for home fitness

. Adaptation of monitors and controls used for new technology to make them more user friendly for the over 50s.

. Access to free wireless internet for grey nomads and travellers whilst on their travels.

The Huckins' son also attended Open Day and plans to study at CQUniversity next year.
