Abstract

User-specific medical, genetic, fitness, environmental and nutritional data is collected to develop personalized health and wellness programs for improving a user'"'"'s health and wellness. The user-specific data may be collected from medical or genetic tests, mobile health devices worn by the user and applications through which the user manually inputs information. The user-specific data is then collected and analyzed together based on knowledge of the interrelationships between medical, genetic, fitness, environmental and nutrition data to develop a comprehensive user profile and personalized health and wellness programs that are targeted to improving specific areas of the user'"'"'s health by implementing changes in fitness, nutrition, medical treatment, environment, etc. The user is provided with a customizable, interactive dashboard graphical user interface of their current health and wellness data, which, along with notifications, incentives and rewards, helps the user improve their overall health and wellness and significantly reduce their risk of morbidity.

Claims

1. A method of developing and implementing personalized health and wellness programs, comprising the steps of:

collecting health data pertaining to a user;

building a user health profile based on the collected health data;

developing a health and wellness program for the user based on the user health profile;

collecting user activity pertaining to the user'"'"'s participation in the health and wellness program from one or more wireless health devices; and

evaluating the user'"'"'s health based on the collected user activity.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the health data is at least one of:

medical history, genetic data, nutrition data, fitness data and environmental data.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the health data includes an oxygen consumption (VO2) level, resting metabolic rate (RMR), amount of visceral fat, amount of body fat and posture.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein the health profile includes ratings of the user'"'"'s health based on the collected health data.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein the ratings are based on the user'"'"'s values of VO2, RMR, visceral fat, body fat and posture.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein the health and wellness program includes recommendations for exercise and nutrition.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein the recommendations for exercise and nutrition are designed to improve the user'"'"'s VO2 and reduce the amount of visceral fat.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the one or more wireless health devices are worn on the user'"'"'s body.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein the wireless health devices include at least one of:

a pedometer, a motion sensor, a heart rate monitor and a blood pressure monitor.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein the user'"'"'s activity pertaining to the user'"'"'s participation in the health and wellness program is displayed on a graphical user interface.

11. A system for developing and implementing personalized health and wellness programs, comprising:

a dashboard server which is configured to perform the steps of;

collecting health data pertaining to a user;

building a user health profile based on the collected health data; and

developing a health and wellness program for the user based on the user health profile;

one or more wireless health devices which collect user activity pertaining to the user'"'"'s participation in the health and wellness program; and

an interactive graphical user interface which displays the user'"'"'s activity and the health and wellness program on a monitor.

12. The system of claim 11, wherein the health data is at least one of:

medical history, genetic data, nutrition data, fitness data and environmental data.

13. The system of claim 12, wherein the health data includes an oxygen consumption (VO2) level, resting metabolic rate (RMR), amount of visceral fat, amount of body fat and posture.

14. The system of claim 13, wherein the health profile includes ratings of the user'"'"'s health based on the collected health data.

15. The system of claim 14, wherein the ratings are based on the user'"'"'s values of VO2, RMR, visceral fat, body fat and posture.

16. The system of claim 15, wherein the health and wellness program includes recommendations for exercise and nutrition.

17. The system of claim 16, wherein the recommendations for exercise and nutrition are designed to improve the user'"'"'s VO2 and reduce the amount of visceral fat.

18. The system of claim 11, wherein the one or more wireless health devices are worn on the user'"'"'s body.

19. The system of claim 18, wherein the wireless health devices include at least one of:

a pedometer, a motion sensor, a heart rate monitor and a blood pressure monitor.

20. The system of claim 11, wherein the user'"'"'s activity pertaining to the user'"'"'s participation in the health and wellness program is displayed on a graphical user interface.
