Hitachi's press release includes the following:

Hitachi and Nintendo have developed a health guidance system which, via the internet, facilitates remote teaching. Using 2-way communications between users and health leaders, the data gathered can provide an effective health guide.

...Blah blah increase awareness of lifestyle-related diseases blah...

An easy to use, fun health system which securely transmits anonymous data to improve guidance, etc.
