Abstract

A set of information including manually entered health-related data for a user, automatically collected health-related data for the user, and test results for the user may be received. In response to receiving the set of information, the manually entered health-related data for the user, the automatically collected health-related data for the user, and the test results for the user may be integrated into a comprehensive health profile for the user. Upon a request made on behalf of the user, at least part of the comprehensive health profile may be provided to the user.
