How About Earning And Tracking Points In the RPG That Is Life?

OK, maybe life isn’t the best role-playing game, but it’s pretty damn important. And that’s why San Francisco start-up GreenGoose created lifestyle platform to track it.

Packaged with a water bottle, toothbrush and a vitamin container, the GreenGoose logs how many times a week people, say, pick up their toothbrush, awarding them points each time they do.

There are sensors on the bottles and the toothbrush for tracking – as well as a credit-card sized pedometer – that can communicate with the GreenGoose base station that’s attached to a broadband router.

The points that players earn are worth, well, nothing per se, other than hopefully a healthy body and clean teeth. And that is priceless.
