Abstract

A total fitness system uses a virtual trainer and/or a database of health information. Based upon certain information provided by a user, the virtual trainer can generate a workout routine and provide detailed guidance and instruction on how to carry out the routine. The database of health information can provide a user with supplement, diet, nutrition and other information, as well as, alternative exercises to perform based upon targeted muscles. A healthcare provider can access the system as part of patient treatment, or an insurance carrier can access the system for purposes of evaluating medical risk in underwriting medical or life policies. Furthermore, an individual'"'"'s overall wellness can be evaluated by compiling and storing in the database a multitude of parameters which covers all aspects of one'"'"'s life. This information can then be retrieved and evaluated by various organizations or users.

Claims

1. A computer implemented process for creating an overall health wellness database for a plurality of patients, comprising:

creating an electronic database for receiving and storing health related information associated with a patient, wherein the health related information includes the patient'"'"'s diet and exercise information;

providing access to the electronic database to the patient or to an administrator; and

evaluating the health related information for the patient to determine an overall wellness record for the patient;

wherein the overall wellness record is evaluated upon a series of factors applied to the health related information for the patient and upon a completeness of the health related information for the patient.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the patient'"'"'s diet information comprises food, vitamin, or prescription drug purchases received via a customer identifier associated with the patient and a vendor used at a time of purchase, or relating to a credit or debit card purchase associated with the patient.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the patient'"'"'s exercise information is received from a sensing element adapted to sense an exercise motion of the patient.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein the sensing element is in communication with an athletic device monitoring the exercise motion of the patient.

5. The method of claim 3, wherein the sensing element is integrated into a mobile device carried by the patient.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein the mobile device comprises a cell phone, a pager, or navigation device.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the health related information comprises the patient'"'"'s race, age, height, sex, and weight.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein the health related information comprises the patient'"'"'s genetic and heredity history.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein the health related information comprises the patient'"'"'s marital status.

17. The method of claim 2, wherein the administrator is a medical doctor, a health services provider or an insurance company.

18. A computer implemented process for creating an overall health wellness database for a plurality of patients, comprising:

creating an electronic database for receiving and storing health related information associated with a patient, wherein the health related information includes the patient'"'"'s diet and exercise information;

obtaining the health related information from monitoring behavior of the patient;

providing access to the electronic database to the patient or to an administrator including a medical doctor, a health services provider, an insurance company, a group performing clinical trials for either government or private research, a homeland security department, and other law enforcement agencies at either a state or federal level; and

evaluating the health related information for the patient to determine an overall wellness record for the patient;

wherein the overall wellness record is evaluated upon a series of factors applied to the health related information for the patient and upon a completeness of the health related information for the patient,

19. The method of claim 18, wherein the patient'"'"'s diet information comprises food, vitamin, or prescription drug purchases received via a customer identifier associated with the patient and a vendor used at a time of purchase, or relating to a credit or debit card purchase associated with the patient.

20. The method of claim 19, wherein the patient'"'"'s exercise information is received from a sensing element adapted to sense an exercise motion of the patient.

21. The method of claim 20, wherein the sensing element is in communication with an athletic device monitoring the exercise motion of the patient.

22. The method of claim 20, wherein the sensing element is integrated into a mobile device carried by the patient including a cell phone, a pager, or navigation device.

23. The method of claim 18, wherein the health related information comprises the patient'"'"'s race, age, height, sex, weight, genetic history, heredity history, or marital status.
