Sickweather, Parking Panda and DinnerTime were three startups among 15 vendors displaying lifestyle and financial wellness apps at Thursday’s city-sponsored technology fair, part of the city’s first-ever celebration of National Public Service Week.
“We want to help employees and citizens be aware of apps that help them make their lives easier,” said Steve Thomas of the city’s Department of Human Resources, one of the agencies that helped organize the tech fair and the week’s other events, which kicked off Monday with “wellness screenings” for all city employees courtesy of a Kaiser Mobile Health Van.
The fair, which went from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. and was held inside the War Memorial Building across from City Hall, was sparsely populated when Technically Baltimore arrived around noon. Thomas said upwards of 75 people walked through the fair before lunch time.
Several health insurance companies had tables at the fair. Also there were representatives from Microsoft with Surface tablets for fair attendees to test out.
