Abstract

A method and apparatus for providing an interactive interface to user health data is described.

Claims

1-10. -10. (canceled)

11. A computer-implemented method comprising:

receiving, by a server from a user device, data from a sensor measuring physical activity of an actual user;

associating, by the server, the received data with a virtual user, wherein the virtual user is a representation used to measure a health status of the actual user;

evaluating, by the server, the virtual user to generate health advice for the actual user based upon the received data; and

transmitting, by the server to the user device, the generated health advice to be displayed on the user device.

18. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions, which when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to perform a method comprising:

receiving, by a server from a user device, data from a sensor measuring physical activity of an actual user;

associating, by the server, the received data with a virtual user, wherein the virtual user is a representation used to measure a health status of the actual user;

evaluating, by the server, the virtual user to generate health advice for the actual user based upon the received data; and

transmitting, by the server to the user device, the generated health advice to be displayed on the user device.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 18, wherein the heath advice includes a recommended increase in the physical activity.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 18, wherein the physical activity is a number of steps taken by the actual user.

21. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 18, wherein the virtual user includes data representing an age of the actual user.

22. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 18, wherein the virtual user includes data representing a weight of the actual user.

23. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 18, the method further comprising:

transmitting, by the server to the user device, a report to be displayed on the user device, the report including physical activity of the actual user over a plurality of days.

24. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 23, wherein the report further includes a daily goal for the physical activity.

25. A computer server comprising:

a processing device; and

a memory coupled to the processing device, wherein the memory stores instructions which, when executed by the processing device, cause the computer server to;

receive, from a user device, data from a sensor measuring physical activity of an actual user;

associate the received data with a virtual user, wherein the virtual user is a representation used to measure a health status of the actual user;

evaluate the virtual user to generate health advice for the actual user based upon the received data; and

transmit, to the user device, the generated health advice to be displayed on the user device.

26. The computer server of claim 25, wherein the heath advice includes a recommended increase in the physical activity.

27. The computer server of claim 25, wherein the physical activity is a number of steps taken by the actual user.

28. The computer server of claim 25, wherein the virtual user includes data representing an age of the actual user.

29. The computer server of claim 25, wherein the virtual user includes data representing a weight of the actual user.

30. The computer server of claim 25, wherein execution of the instructions further cause the computer server to:

transmit, to the user device, a report to be displayed on the user device, the report including physical activity of the actual user over a plurality of days.
