Optimizing Behavioral Change Based on a Patient Statistical Profile
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for directing behavior of a first patient of a plurality of patients towards a behavioral objective, the method comprising:
- calculating, with a patient behavioral path calculator, 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;
selecting, with a patient monitoring processor, a type of targeted message, wherein the type of targeted message includes a positive reinforcement targeted message or a negative reinforcement targeted message;
generating, with the patient monitoring processor, a first targeted message based on the calculated first behavioral path and the selected type of targeted message;
sending, with an information communication processor, the first targeted message to motivate the first patient to achieve the behavioral objective and elicit a first response representative of a result thereof; and
modifying, with statistical processor, the first statistical profile based on the first response;
re-calculating, with the patient behavioral path calculator, 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, with the patient monitoring processor, the selected type of targeted message based on the first response representative of the result; and
generating, with the patient monitoring processor, a second targeted message based on the re-calculated 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.

10. A system for directing behavior of a first patient of a plurality of patients towards a behavioral objective, the system comprising:
-
a patient behavioral path calculator operative to calculate 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; a patient monitoring processor coupled with the patient behavioral path calculator operative to select a type of targeted message, wherein the type of targeted message includes a positive reinforcement targeted message or a negative reinforcement targeted message, wherein the patient monitoring processor is further operative to generate a first targeted message based on the calculated first behavioral path and the selected type of targeted message; an information communication processor coupled with the patient monitoring processor operative to send the first targeted message to motivate the first patient to achieve the behavioral objective and to receive a first response representative of a result thereof; and a statistical processor coupled with the information communication processor operative to modify the first statistical profile based on the first response, wherein the patient behavioral path calculator is further operative to recalculate the first behavioral path to the behavioral objective for the first patient based on the modified first statistical profile of the first patient, and wherein the patient monitoring processor is further operative to re-select the selected type of targeted message based on the first response representative of the result and generate a second targeted message based on the recalculated first behavioral path and the re-selected type of targeted message. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
