Abstract
A user interface that integrates and uniformly presents to a healthcare consumer all or most of the consumer'"'"'s health, health-related, and financial data is described. The interactive user interface is comprised of multiple dashboards which all have a generally uniform appearance and contain one category of health or financial data. A user can configure the size of each dashboard and its placement on the screen. By doing so, a healthcare consumer can view in one screen display data from multiple sources all relating to healthcare. The user interface is presented to a user by a service provider as the interface or window into a healthcare data management system provided by the service provider. The service provider itself stores and manages some of the consumer'"'"'s health data, such as biometric readings. A dashboard of the present invention can contain data from the service provider or can contain data from an external source, such as an insurance company, a hospital, or a financial services company. In both cases the data are presented in the dashboards in a uniform manner. A consumer can open or “click on” the data in a dashboard and get further detail on the data. In the case of an external source or Web site providing the data, the consumer is taken to the site. The consumer only authenticates herself once when signing on to the service provider'"'"'s system to view the user interface and dashboards. The consumer does not have to re-authenticate or sign on again when going to an external site via a dashboard.
