Abstract

This invention describes a journaling and graphing application that easily collects thoughts, data and feelings and relates them to a support community and flexible calendar. The application then presents data relating to events, challenges, and attitudes as either conducive to recovery, or antithetical to recovery and encourages good behavior through feedback, notifications and game dynamics. The application is comprised of six primary feature sets—journaling, community networking, polling and alerting, gamification, care paradigm and feedback. The system uses and co-occurrence and correlation of events over time to establish a predictive analysis of outcomes and to flag good and bad influences.

Claims

1. What is claimed is a journaling and graphing application that easily collects thoughts, data and feelings and relates them to a support community and flexible calendar wherein the application accepts and presents data relating to events, challenges, and attitudes as either conducive to recovery, or antithetical to recovery and encourages behavioral changes in the user through game dynamics and personal feedback.

2. As in claim one and the calendar is represented as subjectively sized, and colored shapes representing events plotted by attitude across a finite timeline of variable scale.

3. As in claims one and two with the metrics of ontrack-ratio. average attitude. perseverance, perseverance trend, supporter count, successful assists count, and point totals used either individually or collectively as elements of encouragement and or game dynamics.

4. As in claim one and having an added element of predictive analysis comprised of any mechanism allowing for concordance, co-occurrence, or likelihood estimation involving success or failure based on historic data.

5. As in claims one through four and having an added element of predictive analysis comprised of any mechanism allowing for concordance, co-occurrence, or likelihood estimation involving success or failure based on historic data.

6. As in claim five with the addition of alerts and notifications triggered by the predictive analysis.

7. As in claims one through six particularly for use in aftercare for addiction or mental health treatment.

8. As in claims one through six but particularly for use in self-help and personal improvement.

9. What is claimed is a computer interface for quickly representing and manipulating journal events, emotional attitude, relative ease of the events, and subjective magnitude of the event where the events are arranged on a timeline with directional representation from past to future running left to right or right to left or top to bottom or bottom to top or clockwise or counter clockwise, with placement corresponding to a time and an attitude, and colored according to ease, difficulty or other expectation, and sized based on subjective magnitude.

10. What is claimed is a computer interface for creating a journal entry that can be classified as a journal entry, a challenge event or a goal where one, any, or all of these are recorded in conjunction with an attitude measurement or an analogue of attitude, ease measurement or analogue of ease, and magnitude measurement or a analogue of magnitude.

11. As in claim ten where with attitude or a analogue of attitude, ease or analogue of ease, and magnitude or a analogue of magnitude are used in conjunction with timing or correlative data for predictive analysis of the success or failure of future challenges or goals.

12. As in claim eleven with the recognition of tags or keywords as correlative data to assist in predictive analysis.
