Abstract

Systems and methods for health wellness management programs comprising a method of positively transforming behavioral and health parameters associated with members of a community and segmenting the community into attitudinal, behavioral and health parameter values. The method further includes enrolling members of the community into a health wellness management program, wherein each member pays a participation fee. The method may further include monitoring a progress status of each member of the community based on the collected behavioral and health parameter values. In addition, the method may further include environmental assessments (e.g., physical, social, cultural, economic) and programs for supporting adoption and maintenance of healthy behaviors within the community as a whole.

Claims

1. A kit for a health wellness management program comprising:

a segmentation packet comprising information relating to a method of segmenting members of a community into one or more segments;

a participation packet comprising information relating to participation, wherein information relating to participation comprises participation fees and program duration;

staff and facilities and equipment selection guidelines;

facilities and equipment selection guidelines;

an educational packet for distribution among the members of the community, wherein the education information packet comprises information directed to at least physical fitness and diet;

a data collection tool in the form of a computer comprising a program for receiving environmental, behavioral and health parameter data associated with each member of the community and the community as a whole; and

an analysis tool in the form of a computer for compiling and displaying environmental, behavioral and health parameter data associated with the community.

2. A kit for a health wellness management program comprising:

a segmentation packet comprising instructions on how to segment members of a community into one or more segments;

a participation packet comprising participation fees and program duration;

staff, facilities and equipment selection guidelines comprising certification requirements;

an educational packet for distribution among the members of the community comprising at least physical fitness and diet instructions;

a data collection tool in the form of a computer comprising a program for receiving environmental, behavioral and health parameter data associated with each member of the community and the community as a whole; and

an analysis tool in the form of a computer for compiling and displaying environmental, behavioral and health parameter data associated with the community.

3. A method of positively transforming health parameters associated with members of a community comprising:

collecting data using a computer comprising a program to record environmental, behavioral and health parameter values associated with individual members of the community;

segmenting the community into one or more segments based at least in part on the environmental, behavioral and health parameter values, wherein members are associated with an appropriate segment based on their individual environmental, behavioral and health parameter values;

enrolling one or more members of the community into a health wellness management program, wherein each member pays a participation fee;

determining a physical activity program, a diet program, and one or more behavior and health parameter goals for each member of the community, wherein the physical activity program and diet program are determined based on at least the associated segment and the environmental, behavioral and health parameters values of the member;

determining an environmental modification program and one or more environmental parameter goals for the community as a whole;

providing training to each member of the community based at least in part on the determined physical activity program and diet program;

collecting with a computer comprising a program to record behavior and health parameter values for each member of the community;

monitoring a progress status of each member of the community based at least in part on the collected behavior and health parameter values;

providing a reward to each member of the community if the member reaches one or more behavior and health parameter goals after an introductory phase of the wellness program and upon successful achievement and maintenance of behavior and health parameter goals at one or more specified intervals throughout the program; and

evaluating a community goal based at least in part on the environmental, behavioral and health parameters of the members;

evaluating a community environmental change goal.

4. The method of claim 3 further comprising a habituation phase, wherein the habituation phase follows the introductory phase.
