Abstract

A process for improving human wellness that includes the steps of receiving at a processing device at least one input based on at least one of a user consumed food, a user activity, and a user behavior, relating a value to each of said at least one input, each value being one of a positive, a negative and a neutral value and derived by a diminishing return calculation that assigns a value to an nth occurrence of the at least one input that has a sign opposite to a value assigned to a first occurrence of the at least one input, calculating, based on each value, a total credit value, and causing the processing device to display a value related to the total credit value.

Claims

1. A process for improving human wellness, the process comprising the steps of:

receiving at a processing device at least one input based on at least one of a user consumed food, a user activity, and a user behavior;

relating a value to each of said at least one input, each value being one of a positive, a negative and a neutral value and derived by a diminishing return calculation that assigns a value to an n^th occurrence of the at least one input that has a sign opposite to a value assigned to a first occurrence of the at least one input;

calculating, based on each value, a total credit value; and

causing the processing device to display a value related to the total credit value.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein the negative value reduces the total credit value in relation to a target goal.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein the positive value increases the total credit value in relation to a target goal.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein the value is assigned based on a measurement of an amount of the user consumed food.

5. The method of claim 1 wherein the value is assigned based on a nutritional quality of the user consumed food.

6. The method of claim 1 wherein the value is assigned based on a characteristic of other food consumed by the user.

7. The method of claim 1 wherein the value is assigned based on a time of day the user consumed food is consumed.

8. The method of claim 1 wherein the value is assigned based on at least one of a location where the user consumed food is purchased and a location where the user consumed food is consumed.

9. The method of claim 1 wherein the value is assigned based on duration of the user activity.

10. The method of claim 1 wherein the value is assigned based on an intensity level of the user activity.

11. The method of claim 1 wherein the value is assigned based on an intensity level of the behavior.

12. The method of claim 1 wherein the value is assigned based on a duration associated with the behavior.

13. The method of claim 1 wherein the diminishing return calculation assigns less value for a second occurrence of at least one of the user consumed food, the user activity, and the user behavior than for a first occurrence of the user consumed food, the user activity, and the user behavior.

14. A method for tracking health and wellness of a person, the method comprising the steps of:

receiving at a processing device a plurality of inputs based on a combination of at least one user consumed food, at least one user activity, and at least one user behavior;

relating at least one positive value to one of the plurality of inputs;

relating at least one negative value to one of the plurality of inputs;

calculating a total credit value based on the positive and negative values, the total credit value reduced in relation to the at least one negative value; and

causing the processing device to display a value related to the total credit value.

15. A computer-implemented method for improving human wellness, the method comprising:

electronically displaying an arrangement of a plurality of drag-and-drop impact group icons in a graphical workspace, at least one of the plurality of drag-and-drop impact group icons corresponding to at least one of a plurality of food items, a plurality of user behaviors, and a plurality of user activities;

defining an impact region in the graphical workspace, the impact region having a plurality of drop sections, the impact region configured to receive the plurality of drag-and-drop impact group icons;

receiving a user selection of the at least one of the plurality of drag-and-drop impact group icons in at least one of the plurality of drop sections;

determining an impact factor value based on which of the at the least one of the plurality of drop sections receives the user selection of the at least one of the plurality of drag-and-drop impact group icons; and

determining, based on the impact factor value, an updated impact score.

16. The computer-implemented method of claim 15, further comprising:

electronically displaying the user selection of the at least one of the plurality of drag-and-drop impact group icons in the at least one of the plurality of drop sections.

17. The computer-implemented method of claim 15, wherein:

the drag-and-drop impact group icons are displayed as an image symbolizing the at least one of a plurality of food items, a plurality of user behaviors, and a plurality of user activities.

18. The computer-implemented method of claim 15, wherein:

the at least one of the plurality of the drag-and-drop impact group icons corresponds to at least one of a plurality of categorized food groups.

19. The computer-implemented method of claim 15, further comprising:

displaying a maximum available impact factor value for increasing the updated impact score, the maximum available impact factor value based on an amount of the plurality of drag-and-drop impact group icons received in the at least one of the plurality of drop sections.

20. The computer-implemented method of claim 15, further comprising:

electronically receiving a user input in a search bar, the user input corresponding to the at least one of the plurality of food items, the plurality of user behaviors, and the plurality of user activities;

populating an item list, based on the user input, for display to the user; and

presenting the item list to the user, the item list including the plurality of drag-and-drop impact group icons configured for movement by the user.
