The present invention relates to systems and methods for monitoring and promoting behavioral modification with regard to an individual's health. In particular, the present invention provides a means for monitoring an individual's performance of health-promoting measures and, based on the member compliance to health-promoting measures, issuing tangible and/or intangible incentive products. In one embodiment, exercise/activity monitors are worn by members to verify their identity and to record and transmit member compliance in performing health-promoting measures (i.e., heart rate, type of exercise, exercise intensity and duration). All health-related information, including physical examination results and recorded participation in health-promoting measures, are used to determine appropriate incentives (i.e., subsidize membership fees for health club) to be rewarded to said member.

A mobile health book (MHB) is incorporated into a mobile device such that users can manage and track health care related information for the user. The mobile health book includes a health tracking software program stored on the memory of the mobile device. The health tracking software receives and stores various health related information for the user. The health tracking software program communicates with at least the contact management program and calendar program on the mobile device to integrate the function of these programs with the health tracking software. The mobile device is able to communicate with other mobile devices such that health related information from the mobile device can be shared and synchronized with similar information on a second mobile device. The synchronization and sharing of health related information between multiple mobile devices allows the user of one mobile device to track and monitor health related information for a second user through the wireless sharing of information.

A unique health score computation method is disclosed which masks underlying health statistics, yet provides a benchmark for a variety of applications. A system and method for collecting health related information, processing the information into a composite numerical value, and publishing the value is provided. The system includes a computer having a processor, memory, and code modules executing in the processor for implementation of the method. Information concerning a plurality of intrinsic and extrinsic parameters of a user is collected. Weighting factors are applied to the parameter in order control the relative affect each parameter has on the user's calculated numerical. The health score is computed using the processor by combining the weighted parameters in accordance with an algorithm. The numerical value is published to a designated group via a portal, while the underlying parameters remain private. In one implementation, the portal is an internet based information sharing forum.

Systems and methods, for delivering targeted content to specific individuals, that provide health related information about an individual; correlates the individual with the targeted content based at least in part on the health related information; and delivers the targeted content to the individual through a device for delivering media content.

A remote health monitoring system, comprising a device suitable for transmitting and receiving data and configured for determining a geographic location of the device, a communication network and a server. The device is suitable for communicating with the server via the communication network, and a visitation schedule of a healthcare provider is determined based upon health related information of a patient and the geographic location of the device.

A mobile communication device obtains health-related information associated with a user of the mobile communication device, determines whether a health goal has been reached based on the health-related information, provides negative feedback to the user when the health goal has not been reached, and provides positive feedback to the user when the health goal has been reached.

A medical data acquisition and analysis system is disclosed. The system includes a first computing device, connected to a database for storing data indicative of content, where the first computing device includes software comprising an algorithm engine having at least one algorithm for generating enhanced feedback content, and at least one secondary computing device, interactively connected to the first computing device through a web portal operative across a communications network. A user inputs a plurality of health related information items into the web portal interface of the at least one secondary computing device, and the plurality of health related information items are received by the first computing device and stored in the database, and are further processed with at least one secondary input to generate the enhanced feedback content in accordance with the at least one algorithm of the algorithm engine, and delivers the enhanced feedback content to the user.

A health monitoring system includes a plurality of remote user sites, each remote user site comprising at least one health monitoring device for collection of user health monitoring data, an interactive video device, and a user interface apparatus; at least one remote computing facility configured for signal communication with, and to receive health monitoring data-related signals from, the plurality of remote user sites; and at least one computer, configured for signal communication with the remote computing facility, wherein the interactive video device is interactively coupled with the remote computing facility. Associated methods are also described.

A user health management method and device are provided. The user health management method includes receiving data from a data source using short-range wireless communication, the data indicating health-related information, determining health-related behavior information of a user based on the health-related information, generating a health care recommendation for the user based on the health-related behavior information, and outputting the health care recommendation.

The present disclosure relates to a wearable monitor device and methods and systems for using such a device. In certain embodiments, the wearable monitor records cardiac data from a mammal and extracts particular features of interest. These features are then transmitted and used to provide health-related information about the mammal.

A method for restricted distribution of a drug to a patient while minimizing the occurrence of adverse side effects. The method restricts access to the drug by preventing distribution to certain patients for whom the drug may be contraindicated. The method permits a prescription to be filled by a pharmacy only after the pharmacy has received an approval for release of the prescription. Generation of the prescription approval depends on registration of a prescriber, pharmacy and patient in a central database, and the determination that the risk is acceptable that the patient will experience an adverse side effect. The database contains a patient profile that may include additional patient-specific health-related information that is probative of the risk that an adverse side effect is likely to occur if the patient is exposed to the drug. Based in part on the information in the patient profile, the registered prescriber makes a determination as to the patient's risk of adverse side effects. If the registered prescriber determines that the risk is acceptable, a prescription request is generated. At the time that the prescription is to be dispensed to the patient, the pharmacy also makes a determination as to the patient's risk of adverse side effects. If the pharmacy determines that the risk is acceptable, the drug is dispensed to the patient. Additional steps may be taken to ensure compliance with the drug delivery method, such as education, oversight by a drug safety analyst, and/or regular contact with a representative.

The invention described herein is directed to a method and system for obtaining health-related records and documents using an online location and is applicable in the business-to-business and business-to-customer business models. The present method and system also provides secure online ordering, tracking, storing, and exchanging health-related information between health-related entities. This is achieved by providing an electronic health information (EHI) web site on the Internet, allowing insurance personnel to order patients' records and documents from a central online location. In this manner, insurance companies will save time and realize significant cost savings while expediting the retrieval process of records and documents.
