Abstract: A system and methods for generating and presenting recommendations of places to eat based on a user's preferences and profile. A set of preferences and ratings are maintained by multiple users which are used to filter and generate rating estimations. Preferences and ratings of other user's with similar preference profiles are used to increase or decrease the recommendations. The location and preferences of multiple users can also be compared to provide eating recommendations for a group of users. The recommendations and ratings can be drilled down to specific menu item for determining recommendations on the full meal or a specific item. The system can also be used by the restaurant owner to identify potential customers, target marketing messages, identify problems with the menu or staff, and improve the impression and quality of the restaurant and food.

Abstract: A health care insurance plan, healthcare professional, or other entity may recognize that a patient or member is not in compliance with a treatment protocol, best practices, or guidelines. Entities may desire to communicate this fact along with an action needed to be performed to comply with the protocol, and, thereby, facilitate completion of the action. An interactive system and method may facilitate patient compliance during a healthcare protocol by providing the patient information to make an informed decision regarding the protocol. Further, the system and method may allow a patient to directly implement a portion of the protocol to bring him or her back into compliance with the protocol. An inexpensive, personalized, multimedia interaction specifically designed to motivate a patient and facilitate an action which closes a “Gap in Care,” brings the patient into compliance, and tracks the interaction.
