Abstract: A health monitoring system includes a server comprising a data processor and a memory associated with a trusted service provider and one or more portable sensors for collecting data from an individual. Each of said portable sensors includes a cryptographic unit for encrypting said data and/or digitally signing said data. Said server is arranged to receive said data from said one or more portable sensors, to authenticate said data, and to process said data associated with said individual. Said server includes a cryptographic unit for decrypting said data and/or for authenticating a digital signature of said data. Said trusted service provider releases said data to selected service consumers that are authorized by said individual to receive said data. The said server includes an incentives module with incentive data, for processing the data and determining any reward or entitlement for the individual from the data and from the incentive data.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a transaction reward system comprising a reward and transaction processor system.
