  • Patent number: 11107569
    Abstract: A reward-based health activity and exercise mobile application that utilizes an activity monitoring device to track activity data and transmits the data to a mobile device to generate virtual lottery tickets. A mobile application on the mobile device analyzes the activity data and determines if the user has completed the daily health-related goals. If the user completes the daily goal, the user is awarded a virtual lottery ticket reward that can be used for raffles of real prizes. If the user completes exercise and non-exercise goals for consecutive days, the user is awarded with additional streak bonus rewards on an escalating basis. The mobile application can be connected to a communication network whereby users can join teams and other communities to track activity data and compete against other users. A streak saver feature can be provided to allow a user to maintain a streak by performing a task.

  • Patent number: 10600088
    Abstract: Systems and methods allow targeting messages to consumers using a plurality of records for a group of consumers, each record comprising healthcare demographic information (HDI) associated with individual consumers. HDI can include insured status information identifying whether a consumer likely has health insurance, which is received from at least one health services provider. A cookie can correlates a consumer's browser to healthcare demographic information. The cookie allows subsequent association of HDI with the browser, without exposing personally identifiable information of the first consumer to advertisers. Systems and methods can also associate an ID of a consumer's electronic device with the HDI, allowing mobile device and set top boxes to serve relate ads to the consumer. Consumers can be targeted based on selected HDI criteria.

  • Patent number: 10460835
    Abstract: A method and system assists in management of data associated with a home medical equipment (HME) device provided to a patient. An HME identifier may be received by a physician terminal or an HME provider terminal. In an example, an HME identifier may be stored, encoded, engraved or otherwise applied to a component of an HME device such as a removable storage medium (e.g., an SD card). A records management system may then be searched for a patient record associated with the HME device identifier based on retrieval of the identifier from the component. If a patient record is found, the identity of the patient may be verified. Optionally, if no such patient record is found, then a new patient record associated with the HME identifier may be created.

  • Patent number: 10318897
    Abstract: The present technology calculates a value of future adherence (VFA) score which is a patient-level, predicted, expected cost of conversion from non-adherence to adherence over a specified time-frame. The score consists of three general components: (1) probability of being non-adherent, (2) cost reduction associated with being adherent, and (3) probability of converting from non-adherent to adherent. These values can be combined to create an overall VFA score. A user interface is then provided which shows at least a list of patients and information related to the VFA score.
