Systems and methods for developing and implementing personalized health and wellness programs

Abstract

User-specific medical, genetic, fitness, environmental and nutritional data is collected to develop personalized health and wellness programs for improving a user's health and wellness. The user-specific data may be collected from medical or genetic tests, mobile health devices worn by the user and applications through which the user manually inputs information. The user-specific data is then collected and analyzed together based on knowledge of the interrelationships between medical, genetic, fitness, environmental and nutrition data to develop a comprehensive user profile and personalized health and wellness programs that are targeted to improving specific areas of the user's health by implementing changes in fitness, nutrition, medical treatment, environment, etc. The user is provided with a customizable, interactive dashboard graphical user interface of their current health and wellness data, which, along with notifications, incentives and rewards, helps the user improve their overall health and wellness and significantly reduce their risk of morbidity.

Description

BACKGROUND[0001]1. Technical Field[0002]The embodiments described herein are related to collecting and tracking medical, genetic, fitness, environmental and nutrition information using mobile health devices and customized applications, developing personalized health and wellness programs designed to reduce key morbidity risks, and monitoring and motivating users with a customized and interactive health and wellness dashboard interface.[0003]2. Related Art[0004]A person's overall health and wellness is the result of a number of different factors. Genetic profiles, medical history, fitness activity and nutrition all affect a person's overall health and wellness. The interrelationships between all of these factors are still not fully understood and are the subject of continuing research. However, even for factors which are individually known to be the cause of disease or promote health and wellness, there is no mechanism for a person or even a healthcare provider to attempt to understa...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent describes a system and method for collecting, analyzing, and using user-specific data to develop personalized health and wellness programs. This data may include medical tests, genetic tests, mobile health devices, and user-input information. The system builds a user health profile based on this data and develops programs to improve key health factors like oxygen consumption, metabolism, and body posture. Users can track and monitor their health data through wireless devices and receive motivational feedback to achieve their personalized goals. The technical effects of the patent include improved personalization of healthcare programs and better outcomes for common diseases.

Problems solved by technology

The interrelationships between all of these factors are still not fully understood and are the subject of continuing research.

However, even for factors which are individually known to be the cause of disease or promote health and wellness, there is no mechanism for a person or even a healthcare provider to attempt to understand these factors, how they relate to each other and how they may be utilized in optimizing a person's overall health and wellness.

Existing methods of promoting weight loss, better diet and regular exercise fail to account for the peculiarities of the obesity paradox, and are therefore failing to address the root cause of morbidity for a large population of individuals which are at risk of cardiovascular disease.
