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 parameters of the programs may be dynamically adjusted based on the user'"'"'s progress in implementing the program, as measured by the user'"'"'s activity and follow-up health evaluations.

Claims

1. A method of dynamically adjusting personalized health and wellness programs, comprising the steps of:

developing a health and wellness program for a user based on a user health profile;

collecting user activity pertaining to the user'"'"'s participation in the health and wellness program from one or more wireless health devices;

evaluating the user'"'"'s health based on the collected user activity; and

adjusting the health and wellness program based on the evaluation of the user'"'"'s health.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the user activity pertains to at least one of:

an amount of exercise, an average heart rate, user weight loss and caloric consumption.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein evaluating the user'"'"'s health includes determining at least one of:

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, wherein the health and wellness program is adjusted by increasing a target heart rate if a heart rate recovery time is reduced.

5. The method of claim 3, wherein the health and wellness program is adjusted by increasing a caloric consumption recommendation if the RMR has increased.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein multiple parameters of the health and wellness program are adjusted when multiple aspects of the user'"'"'s health have changed.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein the multiple parameters of the health and wellness program are individually adjusted based on the multiple changed aspects of the user'"'"'s health.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the health and wellness program is adjusted to reduce program requirements if the user'"'"'s health has decreased.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein adjusting the health and wellness program is completed in real-time from when the user activity or evaluation of the user'"'"'s health is completed.

10. The method of claim 3, further comprising displaying adjustments to the user on a dashboard graphical user interface.

11. A system for dynamically adjusting personalized health and wellness programs, comprising a dashboard server which is configured to perform the steps of:

developing a health and wellness program for a user based on a user health profile;

collecting user activity pertaining to the user'"'"'s participation in the health and wellness program from one or more wireless health devices;

evaluating the user'"'"'s health based on the collected user activity; and

adjusting the health and wellness program based on the evaluation of the user'"'"'s health.

12. The system of claim 11, wherein the user activity pertains to at least one of:

an amount of exercise, an average heart rate, user weight loss and caloric consumption.

13. The system of claim 12, wherein evaluating the user'"'"'s health includes determining at least one of:

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 health and wellness program is adjusted by increasing a target heart rate if a heart rate recovery time is reduced.

15. The system of claim 13, wherein the health and wellness program is adjusted by increasing a caloric consumption recommendation if the RMR has increased.

16. The system of claim 11, wherein multiple parameters of the health and wellness program are adjusted when multiple aspects of the user'"'"'s health have changed.

17. The system of claim 16, wherein the multiple parameters of the health and wellness program are individually adjusted based on the multiple changed aspects of the user'"'"'s health.

18. The system of claim 11, wherein the health and wellness program is adjusted to reduce program requirements if the user'"'"'s health has decreased.

19. The system of claim 11, wherein adjusting the health and wellness program is completed in real-time from when the user activity or evaluation of the user'"'"'s health is completed.

20. The system of claim 13, further comprising a dashboard graphical user interface which displays adjustments to the user.
