determine whether to provide a message to at least one of the plurality of devices or to a second device based on the additional information; and

provide the message to the at least one of the plurality of devices or the second device based on the determination.

4. The system of claim 3, wherein the processor is further configured to, based on the additional information indicating that the plurality of devices comprises respective display screens, provide respective user-specific messages to the plurality of devices.

5. The system of claim 3, wherein the processor is hosted by a computing device, the plurality of devices each comprises a wearable device worn by a person, and the second device comprises a user interface device exposed to persons associated respectively with each of the plurality of devices, the user interface device comprising audio, visual, or a combination of audio and visual components.

6. The system of claim 5, wherein the user interface device further comprises a nearable device.

7. The system of claim 3, wherein the processor is further configured to, based on the additional information indicating that the plurality of devices comprise respective display screens, further receive an indication of a quantity of the plurality of devices located within a defined distance from the second device, and based on the quantity equaling one, provide a user-specific message associated with one of the plurality of devices to the second device, the one of the plurality of devices located within the defined distance from the second device.

8. The system of claim 3, wherein the processor is further configured to, based on the additional information indicating that the plurality of devices comprise respective display screens, further receive an indication of a quantity of the plurality of devices located within a defined distance from the second device, and based on the quantity equaling more than one, provide a user-specific message associated with each of the plurality of devices to the respective plurality of devices.

9. The system of claim 3, wherein the processor is further configured to, based on the additional information indicating that the plurality of devices comprise respective display screens, further receive an indication of a quantity of the plurality of devices located within a defined distance from the second device, and based on the quantity equaling more than one:

provide a user-specific message associated with one of the plurality of devices to the second device and provide one or more respective user-specific messages to any other of the plurality of devices based on a comparison of the physiological or behavioral data associated with the one of the plurality of devices and the any other of the plurality of devices to respective plans, the one of the plurality of devices and the any other of the plurality of devices located within the defined distance from the second device.

10. The system of claim 9, wherein the processor is configured to select the one of the plurality of devices based on a determination that the physiological or behavioral data associated with the one of the plurality of devices indicates closer compliance with the respective plan than a relative compliance of the physiological or behavioral data associated with the any other of the plurality of devices to the respective plan.

11. The system of claim 3, wherein the processor is further configured to, based on the additional information indicating that the plurality of devices comprise respective display screens and the additional information further indicating past activities associated with users of the plurality of devices, further receive an indication of a quantity of the plurality of devices located within a defined distance from the second device, and based on the quantity equaling more than one:

provide a user-specific message associated with one of the plurality of devices to the second device and provide one or more respective user-specific messages to any other of the plurality of devices based on a comparison of the past activities associated with the one of the plurality of devices and the any other of the plurality of devices to respective plans, the one of the plurality of devices and the any other of the plurality of devices located within the defined distance from the second device.

12. The system of claim 11, wherein the processor is configured to select the one of the plurality of devices based on a determination that the past activities associated with the one of the plurality of devices has a greater redeeming value than the past activities of the any other of the plurality of devices.

13. The system of claim 3, wherein the processor is further configured to, based on the additional information indicating that the plurality of devices comprise respective display screens and the additional information further indicating past activities associated with users of the plurality of devices and past messaging comprising advice, further receive an indication of a quantity of the plurality of devices located within a defined distance from the second device, and based on the quantity equaling more than one:

provide a user-specific message associated with only one of the plurality of devices to the second device based on a determination that there is a closer correlation between the past activities and the corresponding advice for the one of the plurality of devices when compared to the other of the plurality of devices, the one of the plurality of devices and the other of the plurality of devices located within the defined distance from the second device.

14. The system of claim 3, wherein the processor is further configured to, based on the additional information indicating that the plurality of devices comprise respective display screens, further receive an indication of a quantity of the plurality of devices located within a defined distance from the second device, and based on the quantity equaling more than one:

provide the message to the second device, wherein a content of the message provides a common interest to persons associated with the plurality of devices located with the defined distance, the content based on a comparison of the physiological and behavioral data associated with the plurality of devices located with the defined distance.

15. The system of claim 3, wherein the message comprises a coupon, and wherein the processor is further configured to provide the coupon with a value that differs based on a level a user associated with one of the plurality of devices has achieved relative to one or more target parameter values corresponding to the received physiological or behavioral data.

16. The system of claim 3, wherein the second device comprises a display screen communicatively coupled to the processor, and further including a second display screen communicatively coupled to the processor, wherein the processor is configured to provide the message to the display screen and the second display screen, wherein a content, order of presentation, or a combination of the content and the order of presentation of the message provided to the second display screen is dependent on the message provided to the display screen.

17. The system of claim 3, wherein the processor is further configured to provide multiple messages to the second device having different content, the processor configured to present the multiple messages based on an indication received by the processor that one of the plurality of devices is located within a defined distance from the second device over threshold period of time.

18. The system of claim 3, wherein the second device comprises a display screen communicatively coupled to the processor, wherein the motivational content comprises image data of a person, wherein the processor is configured to select the image data according to the physiological data comprising a physiological feature of a user associated with one of the plurality of devices, the image data, when rendered on the display screen, having an image of a person with a comparable physiological feature to the physiological feature of the user.

19. An apparatus, comprising:

a display screen;

a processor coupled to the display screen, the processor configured to;

receive an indication that at least one device is located within a defined proximity to the processor;
