Abstract

A system for managing the wellness of an individual has a kiosk where data is received from and provided to the individual. The kiosk comprises a processor, a display in communication with the processor, a data entry device in communication with the processor, and a bio-electric impedance analysis (“BEIA”) bar capable of communication with the processor. The kiosk has a communication device in communication with the processor. The system further comprises a server computer in network communication with the communication device of the kiosk. The server computer has a storage device for storing data. The server computer may be used to store data received from an individual, or provide data to the individual, using a kiosk. The system may further comprise fitness equipment, medical equipment, client computers, or any combination of such devices. These devices may be in communication with the kiosk and/or server computer.

Claims

1. A system for managing the wellness of an individual, comprising:

a kiosk for receiving data from the individual and providing data to the individual, the kiosk comprising;

a processor;

a display in communication with the processor;

a data entry device in communication with the processor;

a bio-electric impedance analysis bar in communication with the processor; and

a communication device in communication with the processor and capable of network communication;

a server computer in network communication with the communication device of the kiosk, the server computer having a storage device for storing data received from the individual and communicated from the kiosk.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the kiosk further comprises a biometric reader for identification of the individual.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the data entry device is a touch screen device.

4. The system of claim 1, further comprising fitness equipment having a network adapter in network communication with the kiosk, wherein the fitness equipment sends workout data of the individual to the kiosk.

5. The system of claim 4, wherein the fitness equipment is selected from the group consisting of a treadmill, an elliptical, a rowing machine, a stair machine, and a strength training machine.

6. The system of claim 1, further comprising fitness equipment having a network adapter in network communication with the server computer, wherein the fitness equipment sends workout data of the individual to the server computer.

7. The system of claim 1, further comprising a client computer having a network port in network communication with the server computer.

8. The system of claim 7, wherein the client computer is a portable communication device.

9. The system of claim 1, further comprising medical equipment having a network adapter in network communication with the kiosk, wherein the medical equipment sends medical data to the kiosk.

10. The system of claim 9, wherein the network adapter of the medical equipment is a wireless network adapter.

11. A kiosk for managing the wellness of an individual, comprising:

a processor;

a display in communication with the processor;

a data entry device in communication with the processor;

a bio-electric impedance analysis bar in communication with the processor; and

a storage device in communication with the processor and capable of storing data received from the data entry device.

12. The system of claim 11, wherein the kiosk further comprises a biometric reader for identification of the individual.

13. The system of claim 11, wherein the data entry device is a touch screen device.

14. A method of managing the wellness of an individual, comprising the steps of:

providing a kiosk for interaction with the individual, the kiosk having a processor, a display in communication with the processor, a data entry device in communication with the processor, a bio-electric impedance analysis bar in communication with the processor, and a communication device in communication with the processor and capable of network communication;

providing a server computer in network communication with the communication device of the kiosk, the server computer having a storage device for storing data received from the individual and communicated form the kiosk;

determining biofeedback information of the individual using the bio-electric impedance analysis bar of the kiosk;

recording the determined biofeedback information to the storage device of the server computer;

entering wellness information of the individual using the data entry device;

recording the entered wellness information to the storage device of the server computer.

15. The method of claim 14, wherein determining biofeedback information of the individual further comprises measuring the individual'"'"'s heart rate, body fat percentage, or body temperature.

16. The method of claim 14, further comprising the steps of:

providing a client computer having a network adapter in network communication with the server computer;

logging on to the kiosk using a user crediential;

analyzing the user credential to determine an access right of the user; and

allowing access to data stored on the storage device according to the access right of the user.
