1. A method for preventing obesity in an individual comprising:
- monitoring an individual'"'"'s weight by periodically supplying in non-dialog mode the weight and height reading to a preventing system, said preventing system receiving the weight and height reading through a device that is adapted to collect and send data corresponding to the weight and height reading through an internet connection;
analyzing weight and height reading and determining if the individual'"'"'s weight profile has changed; and
providing feedback signal to the individual'"'"'s primary doctor, the feedback will indicate whether the individual is trending towards an overweight condition.

20. A method for preventing obesity in a group of individuals comprising:
-
monitoring each individual'"'"'s weight by periodically supplying in non-dialog mode the weight and height reading to a preventing system, said preventing system receiving the weight and height reading through a device that is adapted to collect and send data corresponding to the weight and height reading through an internet connection;
analyzing weight and height reading of each individual and determining if any of the individual'"'"'s weight profile has changed; and
providing feedback to the primary doctor of the individual whose weight profile has changed, the feedback will indicate whether the individual is trending towards an overweight condition. - View Dependent Claims (21)
