1. A health management system comprising:
- a server configured to store (i) a plurality of goal modules, each goal module including one or more content sessions cooperatively directed toward achieving a health management goal, the health management goals of the goal modules being selected from a group consisting of;
reducing weight, stopping smoking, learning to self-administer a medical intervention, learning to follow a dietary restriction, learning to follow a dietary requirement, and performing a physical exercise, the content sessions including content selected from a group consisting of;
pre-recorded audio/video content, textual content, interactive survey content, and pre-recorded step-by-step interactive audio/video content, and (ii) a plurality of patient profiles, each patient profile indicating at least which goal module or goal modules are assigned to a patient profiled by the patient profile and patient-specific flow rules for that patient;
a plurality of user interfaces configured to be used by a plurality of different patients, each patient being profiled by a corresponding patient profile, each user interface including a television and a television remote, each user interface configured to present content sessions on the television and to receive at least one input via the television remote that is indicative of a user response to a content session presented by the user interface; and
a content flow engine embodied by a computer and configured to control an order of presentation of content sessions based on the at least one input and on content flow rules;
wherein the content flow engine is further configured to control, for each patient, an order of presentation of goal modules assigned to the patient by the patient profile of that patient based on content flow rules including the patient-specific flow rules of the patient profile, the order of presentation of two different goal modules assigned to the patient by the patient profile being controlled by the content flow engine to be presented as one of (i) an ordered sequence or (ii) concurrently by interleaving presentation of content sessions of the two different goal modules.

Abstract
A health management system includes a plurality of goal modules (14). Each goal module includes one or more content sessions (16, 18, 71, 72, 73, 74, 120, 122, 126, 140, 148) cooperatively directed toward achieving a health management goal. A user interface (30) is configured for presenting content sessions. At least one feedback path (30, 32, 36, 38) provides at least one input indicative of a user response to a content session presented by the user interface. A content flow engine (42) is configured to control an order of presentation of content sessions based on the at least one input and on content flow rules (44, 46, 48).

7. A health management system comprising:
-
a server configured to communicate with a plurality of patients, the server storing at least; a plurality of goal modules, each goal module configured to include one or more audio/video content sessions cooperatively directed toward achieving a health management goal, a plurality of patient profiles corresponding to the plurality of patients, each patient profile configured to indicate at least which goal module or goal modules are assigned to the patient profiled by that patient profile, and a content flow engine configured to control an order of presentation of content sessions to each patient based on at least one input from the patient and on content flow rules, the rules including rules for repeating a previously presented content session, interleaving content sessions of a plurality of goal modules, and changing the order of the presentations of the content sessions, wherein the content flow rules include content flow rules stored with the goal modules and at least some patient-specific content flow rules stored in the patient profiles; and for each patient, a patient-accessible apparatus configured to communicate with the server to provide health management content to a patient profiled on the server, the patient-accessible apparatus including; a television set accessible by the patent and configured for presenting content sessions pushed to the television set by the server, and a television remote control accessible by the patient and configured to provide the at least one input from the patient to the server; wherein the order of presentation via the patient-accessible apparatus of two different goal modules assigned by the patient profile corresponding to the patient is controlled by the content flow engine to be presented as one of (i) an ordered sequence or (ii) concurrently by interleaving presentation of content sessions of the two different goal modules. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9)

10. A modular health management system comprising:
-
a server configured to communicate with a plurality of patients, the server storing at least; a plurality of goal modules, each goal module configured to include one or more content sessions cooperatively directed toward achieving a health management goal, and a plurality of patient profiles corresponding to the plurality of patients, each patient profile being modularly constructed by assigning selected goal modules configured for presentation to the patient profiled by that patient profile and patient-specific content flow rules configured to control flow of presentation of the selected goal modules for the patient profiled by the patient profile, wherein at least one of the plurality of goal modules is shared amongst two or more different patient profiles, and content flow rules configured to control an order of presentation of the content sessions the content flow rules including; intra-module rules associated with a goal module configured to control a flow of presentation from content session to content session within the goal module, and inter-module rules configured to control a flow of presentation from one goal module to another goal module, an electronic user interface for each profiled patient including a display and at least one user input device, the electronic user interface configured to present the patient with the selected goal modules assigned to that patient by the patient profile and to receive feedback from the patient responsive to the presentation; and a content flow engine embodied by a computer and configured to, for each profiled patient; control the order of presentation of two different goal modules assigned by the patient profile to be presented as one of (i) an ordered sequence or (ii) concurrently by interleaving presentation of content sessions of the two different coal modules, and change the order of presentation of content sessions based on the patient feedback and the content flow rules including the intra-module rules, the inter-module rules, and the patient-specific content flow rules of the patient profile.
