  • Publication number: 20140289220
    Abstract: A method for providing recommendations to a user based on user activity, where the user activity data encompasses health and medical data for the user. The activity data including the health and medical data is recorded on a transportable recordable medium (TRM) that can be a component of any type of user device. The activity data is transferred by the user device to a profiler across a network, where the profiler stores a user controlled profile that includes the activity data sent by the user device. The activity data is processed to identify a plurality of user patterns. Health related suggestions specific to the user based on the user patterns are then created for and provided to the user by the profiler. The health related suggestions are received by the user device from the profiler and made accessible to the user.
