Abstract
Embodiments of the invention are directed to systems, methods, and computer program products for active, real-time control of a plurality of devices and associated applications for monitoring and completing one or more targets through an interactive integrated interface. In this regard, the system determines one or more targets associated with the user. The system then identifies the target devices having control factors that are configured to be modified to aid in the completion of the targets. The system may initiate a presentation of the targets on the interactive integrated interface. Following the selection of targets by the user, the system configures applications and devices associated with the targets to provide information and feedback associated with the selected targets. The system transmits control instructions to a plurality of target devices, the instructions configured to control the devices by modifying one or more control factors associated with the devices.
