1. A method of presenting real-time health information, the method comprising steps of:
- (a) administering by a user interface associated with a mobile device, a virtual questionnaire to obtain information regarding the user'"'"'s symptoms,(b) determining the location of the user using a location determination circuit associated with the mobile device;
(c) obtaining environmental data from an internet-accessible database corresponding with the user'"'"'s local environmental conditions at the time the questionnaire is administered;
(d) automatically by a processor associated with the mobile device determining the health status of the user based on the user'"'"'s response to the virtual questionnaire;
(e) storing the health status of the user and corresponding environmental data in a data store associated with the mobile device;
(f) developing a data structure from which the health status of the user is correlated with the user'"'"'s local environmental conditions to identify causes of symptoms for the user;
(g) repeating steps (a) through (e) a plurality of different times, and recorrelating health status with the user'"'"'s local environmental conditions to refine and enhance the data structure;
(h) determining at predetermined times the location of the user using the location determination circuit of the mobile device;
(i) obtaining current or predicted environmental data from the internet-accessible database at the location determined in step (h) contemporaneously with step (h);
(j) predicting future symptoms based upon the data structure and current or predicted local environmental conditions determined in step (i);
(k) determining whether to deliver a warning of environmental risks that are predicted to induce symptoms in the user; and
(l) presenting by a display associated with the mobile device a visualization indicative of the future symptoms if it is determined that a warning is to be delivered wherein presenting the visualization includes;
generating a map image;
overlaying a plurality of animated particles over the map image; and
displaying the map image and the plurality of animated particles on the display.

Abstract
A system and method for presenting real-time health information administers virtual questionnaires, automatically determines a user health status, and presents a visualization to a user indicating a likelihood of a symptom occurrence. The system and method presents results of the analysis to a user to predict health risks, analyze user symptoms, connect users with medical professionals, and provide marketing offers. The results may be presented as text, graphs, stationary maps, and/or animated maps.
