  • Publication number: 20210407649
    Abstract: Embodiments of a system and/or method can include: a set of weight sensor subsystems associated with the set of users, wherein a weight sensor subsystem of the set of weight sensor subsystems comprises a weight sensor operable to collect a weight dataset for a user, wherein the weight dataset is associated with a physical activity characteristic of the user, and a wireless communication module operable to transmit the weight dataset; and a medical improvement subsystem wirelessly connectable to the set of weight sensor subsystems, wherein the medical improvement subsystem is operable to: assign the user to a user subgroup based on the physical activity characteristic of the user; determine a physical activity metric based on the weight dataset; and promote a therapeutic intervention to the user based on the physical activity metric, where the therapeutic intervention is operable to improve the status of the first user.

  • Publication number: 20140222454
    Abstract: Systems and methods that administer a health improvement program and an adjunct medical treatment are provided herein. A method includes tracking performance of a participant in a health improvement program, the health improvement program designed to improve the health condition of the participant, comparing the performance of the participant to a minimum threshold requirement that signals that the participant is not adequately improving under the health improvement program, identifying when the performance of the participant falls below the minimum threshold level, and when the performance of the participant falls below the minimum threshold level, outputting a message to at least one of the participant or a third party that the participant is a potential candidate for an adjunct medical treatment.

  • Publication number: 20140214443
    Abstract: System and methods for tracking participants in a health improvement program are provided herein. A method includes tracking performance of participants in a group program, the group program having an overall program time frame, the group program having one or more sub-programs that when executed by the participants in the participant group aid the participants in achieving the common heath goal, each of the sub-programs comprising a task to be completed by the participant; and generating, for each participant in the group program, a first visual display that represents a current completion percentage for at least one of a sub-program and the group program, the current completion percentage being calculated from a completion percentage of each of the one or more sub-programs, and a second visual display that represents a current completion percentage of the group program.

  • Publication number: 20140214442
    Abstract: System and methods for tracking participants in a health improvement program are provided herein. A method includes receiving a plurality of requests to participate in a health program from a plurality of participants, each of the plurality of participants being associated with a health condition requiring improvement, matching participants into a participant group, defining a group program, the group program having an overall program time frame, the group program further having a series of sub-programs that when executed by the participants in the participant group aid the participants in achieving the common heath goal, initiating a first sub-program of the series of sub-programs for all participants at a specified start time, and tracking performance of the participants in the participant group during the series of sub-programs until completion of the group program.

  • Publication number: 20140004492
    Abstract: System, method, and article to prompt behavior change are provided. Various aspects of the system include health promotion data generated and/or communicated from/to a device; a methodology module associated with software/processor to identify at least one behavior change methodology associated with the health promotion data; and an instruction module associated with a software/processor to initiate the identified at least one behavior change methodology.
