Abstract

In one embodiment of the present disclosure, a system for tracking behavior is described. The system includes at least one computing device adapted to receive data from at least one tracking pod, generate at least one report utilizing at least a portion of the data, and provide a user access to the data and the at least one report. The data indicates a behavior.

Claims

1. A system for tracking behavior, the system comprising at least one computing device adapted to:

receive data from at least one tracking pod, the data indicating a behavior;

generate at least one report utilizing at least a portion of the data; and

provide a user access to the data and the at least one report.

2. The system set forth in claim 1, wherein a computing device is further adapted to make recommendations to a user based on the data.

3. The system set forth in claim 1, wherein a tracking pod comprises a sleep sensor.

4. The system set forth in claim 1, wherein a tracking pod comprises a feeding sensor.

5. The system set forth in claim 1, wherein a tracking pod comprises an excretory waste sensor.

6. The system set forth in claim 1, wherein a tracking pod comprises an ancillary sensor.

7. The system set forth in claim 1, wherein a computing device is further adapted to make recommendations to a user based on historical data, the historical data comprising data indicating at least one behavior that was received from at least one tracking pod and stored by a computing device.

8. The system set forth in claim 1, wherein a computing device is further adapted to provide at least one of the data and the at least one report to a third party.

9. The system set forth in claim 1, wherein a computing device is further adapted to provide a user with incentives.

10. The system set forth in claim 1, wherein the user access comprises a graphical user interface that includes advertisements.

11. The system set forth in claim 1, wherein the user access comprises a graphical user interface that includes reference information relating to a behavior tracked by a tracking pod.

12. The system set forth in claim 1, wherein the user access comprises a graphical user interface that includes information about a product relating to a behavior tracked by a tracking pod.

13. The system set forth in claim, wherein data is received from more than one tracking pod.

14. A method of tracking behavior, the method comprising:

receiving data from a tracking pod, the data indicating a behavior;

generating a report utilizing at least a portion of the data; and

providing a user access to the data and the report.

15. The method set forth in claim 14, further comprising making recommendations to a user based on the data.

16. The method set forth in claim 14, further comprising providing at least one of the data and the report to a third party.

17. The method set forth in claim 14, further comprising providing a user with incentives.

18. The method set forth in claim 17, wherein the incentives comprise coupons for products relating to the behavior tracked by the tracking pod.

19. The method set forth in claim 17, wherein the incentives comprise rebates for products relating to the behavior tracked by the tracking pod.

20. A method of tracking behavior, the method comprising:

receiving data from a tracking pod, the data indicating a behavior;

generating a report utilizing at least a portion of the data;

providing a user access to the data and the report; and

providing the user an option to receive incentives if the user agrees to allow at least one of the data and the report to be provided to a third party.

21. The method set forth in claim 20, wherein the incentives comprise coupons for products relating to the behavior tracked by the tracking pod.

22. The method set forth in claim 20, wherein the incentives comprise rebates for products relating to the behavior tracked by the tracking pod.

23. The method set forth in claim 20, further comprising providing the user an option to receive incentives if the user agrees to answer questions.

24. The method set forth in claim 23, wherein the questions relate to the behavior tracked by the tracking pod.

25. The method set forth in claim 20, further comprising providing information about a product relating to the behavior tracked by the tracking pod.
