Abstract

Data collection and assessment systems and processes for delivering a personalized experience to a user by gathering information from the user through a dynamic interface, performing detailed analyses based on the data collected, identifying the most probable user-specific outcome(s), and providing relevant feedback and analyses based on the most probable user-specific outcome identified. Embodiments of the described system and process also comprehensively track and store user data, thereby enabling the highest levels of user status supervision, client relations and efficiency.

Claims

1. A system for providing interactive data collection and assessment, the system comprising:

a memory, the memory storing at least one application and at least one module, each of the at least one modules defining two or more steps with at least one of the steps configured to collect data from a user through one or more graphical user interfaces;

a processor, the processor operable to execute the application to collect data from the user, to evaluate the collected data, derive one or more result values from the collected data, derive a customized sequence of each module comprising at least one step, the customized sequence being based at least in part on the one or more result values and at least one conditional statement at each step, and to execute each step of each module in the customized sequence;

a network interface, the network interface electronically coupled to the processor and at least one database; and

at least one device electronically coupled to the network interface configured to display the one or more graphic user interfaces associated with the at least one module of the application.

2. The system of claim 1 in which the at least one application is adapted to store the collected data in one or more of the at least one databases.

3. The system of claim 1 in which each step of the module is selected from the group consisting of a data collection-type step, an informative-type step, a calculation-type step, and a combination data collection-type and informative-type step.

4. The system of claim 1 in which at least one of the graphic user interfaces associated with the at least one module of the application comprises an audio and video component.

5. The system of claim 4 in which a first step of the module comprises an audio and video component comprising a first content, a second step of the module comprises an audio and video component comprising a second content, and the processor is operable to select between executing the first step and the second step based on the result value.

6. The system of claim 1 in which at least one of the modules comprises a decision logic.

7. The system of claim 1 in which one or more of the at least one databases comprises an external database electronically coupled to the network interface.

8. The system of claim 1 in which the at least one databases comprises a knowledge base comprising data benchmarks.

9. The system of claim 8 in which the application is adapted to evaluate the collected data against the data benchmarks of the knowledge base and present the result value to the user through the graphic user interface when executed by the processor.

10. The system of claim 1 in which one or more of the applications comprises a custom business logic application, wherein the processor is operable to execute the business logical application to analyze the collected data, interface with and retrieve third-party data related to the collected data from a third-party application or a third-party database, and integrate the third-party data into one or more steps of a module of the application.

11. The system of claim 10 in which the third-party data comprises an advertisement and at least one of the two or more steps of the module displays the advertisement to the user through the graphic user interface.

12. The system of claim 1 in which at least one of the modules is adapted to receive an inquiry from the user, categorize the inquiry according to pre-defined variables, and assign the inquiry to a resource associated with the identified category when executed by the processor.

13. A computerized method providing interactive data collection and health assessment, the method comprising:

collecting health data from a user through a dynamic graphical user interface, wherein the health data includes measured health parameters and lifestyle information;

storing the health data in a database;

deriving one or more result values from the health data with a processor; and

repeating at least one of the collecting, storing, and deriving steps based at least in part on the one or more result values according to a customized sequence;

wherein the one or more result values correspond to one or more risk factors associated with the user based at least in part on at least a portion of the health data.

14. The method of claim 13, further comprising:

identifying a contact information for at least one health care specialist based on the health data; and

presenting the contact information through the dynamic interface.

15. The method of claim 13, wherein the customized sequence includes one or more steps wherein each of the one or more steps is selected from the group consisting of a data collection-type step, an informative-type step, a calculation-type step, and a combination data collection-type and informative-type step.
