CALCULATING A BEHAVIORAL PATH BASED ON A STATISTICAL PROFILE
First Claim
1. A method for directing behavior of a first patient of a plurality of patients towards a behavioral objective, the method comprising:
- calculating, with a processor, a first behavioral path to the behavioral objective for the first patient based on an initial state of the first patient and a first statistical profile of the first patient, the first statistical profile being operative, for an input based on the first patient, to produce a most likely output of a modeled patient-population, based on a comparison of the input of the first patient with the modeled patient-population;
selecting a type of targeted message, wherein the type of targeted message includes a positive reinforcement targeted message or a negative reinforcement targeted message;
generating a first targeted message based on the calculated first behavioral path and the selected type of targeted message;
sending the first targeted message during a first session to motivate the first patient to achieve the behavioral objective and elicit a first response representative of a result thereof;
modifying the first statistical profile based on the first response;
recalculating the first behavioral path to the behavioral objective for the first patient based on the modified first statistical profile of the first patient;
re-selecting the selected type of targeted message based on the first response; and
generating a second targeted message based on the recalculated first behavioral path and the re-selected type of targeted message.

Abstract
A system for directing behavior of a first patient of a plurality of patients towards a behavioral objective includes a patient behavioral path calculator, a patient goal calculator, and a patient monitoring processor. The system also includes an information communication processor and a statistical processor. The patient behavioral path calculator calculates a patient behavioral path based on a statistical profile. The patient goal calculator calculates patient goals along the patient behavioral path toward a behavioral objective. The statistical processor can modify the statistical profile based on a response to a targeted message sent by the information communication processor.
