Abstract

User-specific medical, genetic, fitness, environmental and nutritional data is collected to develop personalized health and wellness programs for improving a user'"'"'s health and wellness. The user-specific data may be collected from medical or genetic tests, mobile health devices worn by the user and applications through which the user manually inputs information. The user-specific data is then collected and analyzed together based on knowledge of the interrelationships between medical, genetic, fitness, environmental and nutrition data to develop a comprehensive user profile and personalized health and wellness programs that are targeted to improving specific areas of the user'"'"'s health by implementing changes in fitness, nutrition, medical treatment, environment, etc. The user is provided with a customizable, interactive dashboard graphical user interface of their current health and wellness data, which, along with notifications, incentives and rewards, helps the user improve their overall health and wellness and significantly reduce their risk of morbidity.

Claims

1. A method for implementing personalized health and wellness programs, comprising the steps of:

receiving health data pertaining to a user;

determining a group of health profiles with aggregated data that correlates to the health data pertaining to the user;

assigning, from the group of health profiles, a user health profile to the user based on the received health data;

selecting a health and wellness program for the user based on the user health profile, wherein the health and wellness program comprises at least an intervention based on performance of the group of health profiles;

displaying an interactive Graphical User Interface (GUI) of the health and wellness program pertaining to the user and the aggregated data for the group of health profiles;

updating the user health profile based on user activity pertaining to the user'"'"'s participation in the health and wellness program from one or more wireless health devices, wherein the user activity includes tracking metrics of the user'"'"'s participation in the intervention and a clinical assessment;

adjusting the group of health profiles to correlate to the updated user health profile; and

updating the health and wellness program for the user based on the adjusted group of health profiles.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the health data is at least one of:

medical history, genetic data, nutrition data, fitness data and environmental data.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the health data includes an oxygen consumption (VO2) level, resting metabolic rate (RMR), amount of visceral fat, amount of body fat and posture.

4. The method of claim 3, further comprising transmitting notifications to the user regarding the user'"'"'s participation in the health and wellness program, wherein the notifications are selected based on the user health profile.

5. The method of claim 4, further comprising transmitting messages to the user regarding the user'"'"'s participation in the health and wellness program, wherein the messages are selected based on the user health profile.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein the messages are created by an administrator or healthcare provider who supervises the user'"'"'s participation in the health and wellness program.

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising displaying historical health data based on a previous user assessment for comparison with a new assessment.

8. The method of claim 1, further comprising receiving user activity information pertaining to the user'"'"'s participation in the health and wellness program from an application on a portable electronic device.

9. The method of claim 1, further comprising providing points and rewards for aspects of the user'"'"'s participation in the health and wellness program.

10. The method of claim 1, further comprising providing recommendations to users participating in the health and fitness program based on previously-selected user activities.

21. The method of claim 1, wherein the interested party other than the user is a healthcare professional responsible for the user'"'"'s health.

22. The method of claim 1, wherein the interested party other than the user is a corporate wellness administrator set up to monitor the user'"'"'s progress toward specific health goals.

24. The method of claim 8, wherein the information provided by the interested party at the second destination relates to a change to a new user health profile based on the user activity information, the new user health profile indicating defining a health and wellness program and notifications and messages to be provided to the user.

11. An interactive graphical user interface (GUI) for developing and implementing personalized health and wellness programs, comprising a dashboard server comprising a processor which is configured to perform the steps of:

displaying health data pertaining to a user;

displaying aggregated data for a group of health profiles that correlates to the health data pertaining to the user and an assigned user health profile based on the group of health profiles;

displaying a health and wellness program for the user based on the user health profile, wherein the health and wellness program comprises at least an intervention based on performance of the group of health profiles, wherein displaying the health and wellness program includes displaying an interactive GUI of the health and wellness program pertaining to the user and the aggregated data for the group of health profiles;

updating the user health profile based on user activity pertaining to the user'"'"'s participation in the health and wellness program from one or more wireless health devices, wherein the user activity includes tracking metrics of the user'"'"'s participation in the intervention and a clinical assessment;

adjusting the group of health profiles to correlate to the updated user health profile; and

updating the health and wellness program for the user based on the adjusted group of health profiles.

12. The system of claim 11, wherein the health data is at least one of:

medical history, genetic data, nutrition data, fitness data and environmental data.

13. The system of claim 12, wherein the health data includes an oxygen consumption (VO2) level, resting metabolic rate (RMR), amount of visceral fat, amount of body fat and posture.

14. The system of claim 13, wherein the dashboard server sends notifications to the user regarding the user'"'"'s participation in the health and wellness program.

15. The system of claim 14, wherein the dashboard server transmits messages to the user regarding the user'"'"'s participation in the health and wellness program.

16. The system of claim 15, wherein the messages are created by an administrator or healthcare provider who supervises the user'"'"'s participation in the health and wellness program.

17. The system of claim 11, wherein the interactive GUI displays historical health data based on a previous user assessment for comparison with a new assessment.

18. The system of claim 11, wherein the dashboard server receives user activity pertaining to the user'"'"'s participation in the health and wellness program from an application on a portable electronic device.

19. The system of claim 11, wherein the interactive GUI displays points and rewards for aspects of the user'"'"'s participation in the health and wellness program.

20. The system of claim 11, wherein the interactive GUI displays recommendations to users participating in the health and fitness program based on previously-selected user activities.

23. The system of claim 11, wherein the interactive GUI is configured as an interactive dashboard.
