Abstract

This invention has three parts; Quantifiable Well Being Evaluations, Improvement Programs and Scientific Wellness Video Games. The new/novel embodiments go beyond optimal weight/ideal fitness levels and preventing health crises by continuously evaluating each individual towards special “Super Healthy Human Measurements” (15+ years without illness), correlating them to a series of “10” Point Scales. Quantifiable Well-Being/Scientific Wellness is an improved “Well-Being Paradigm” from the standard “2” point medical scale (“normal/abnormal”). Individuals achieve higher scores of personal “Well-Being” (8-10) with new follow-up interventions and self-educating video games, which dramatize realistic consequences for lifestyle choices, through virtual adventures. These videos are customized according to quantifiable evaluations based on their current measurements of the “10” Point Scales. This educates individuals on what choices will create the highest scores of Well-Being (happy, healthy, loving, successful, fulfilled, able to handle stressors, as they continuously follow their individual life purpose/mission).
