System and Method for Improved Healthcare Delivery
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented system for providing improved health care delivery to a patient through communication over a network, the health care delivery system comprising:
- at least one user device associated with a user, the at least one user device being operable on the network;
a processor for implementing at least one of;
an identification module operable to associate the patient with at least one pre-established criterion;
a screening module for allowing the user to enter data into the at least one user device relating to the at least one pre-established criterion for the patient;
a monitoring module, operable to determine, based at least in part on the data entered into the at least one user device, whether the patient has complied with the at least one pre-established criterion; and
an output module for transmitting information relating to the patient'"'"'s compliance with the at least one pre-established criterion to at least one receiving user device;
a database for storing information transmitted by the output module;
an instant communication interface; and
an incentive generation engine in communication with the output module, the incentive generation engine being operable to assign at least one reward to at least one patient or user.

Abstract
Embodiments of the invention are directed toward a interactive system and method for improved health care delivery operated over a network in conjunction with a user device. The user device is connected over the network to an identification module which may be operable to identify a patient and associate that patient with pre-established criteria. A screening module allows a user to enter data into the user device which relates to the patient'"'"'s pre-established criteria, while a monitoring module determines whether the patient has complied with the criteria. An output module may transmit information relating to the patient'"'"'s compliance to the same, or another, user device. The invention may also include a database for storing information transmitted by the output module, an instant communication interface and an incentive generation engine for randomly selected or specifically targeted users.

11. A computer-implemented method for providing improved health care delivery to a patient through communication over a network, the method comprising:
-
associating at least one user device with a user, the at least one user device being operable on the network, and being further associated with an instant communication interface; identifying, by an identification module, the patient; entering, by a screening module, data into the at least one user device relating to at least one pre-established criterion for the patient; determining, by a monitoring module, whether the patient has complied with the at least one pre-established criterion by monitoring the data entered into the at least one user device, the monitoring module being implemented by a computer processor; transmitting, by an output module, information relating to the patient'"'"'s compliance with the at least one pre-established criterion to at least one receiving user device; storing the information transmitted by the output module in a database; and assigning, by an incentive generation engine in communication with the output module, at least one reward to at least one user or patient. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
