  • Publication number: 20170208021
    Abstract: A message management system that sends customized messages to help a user achieve wellness objectives. The message management system is used in conjunction with a wellness system that allows users to participate in various wellness programs to improve the user's well-being. Until the user has completed the selected wellness program, the management system may send “nudge messages” to the user depending on the user's progress within the program or other factors. Generally, a nudge message comprises motivational content delivered to the user at a certain time to motivate the user to complete one or more tasks and progress towards the overall goal. Nudge messages are delivered to the user via one or more communication channels that are most likely to cause the message to reach a user and have a desired motivating effect. Effects of nudge messages are measured by the system and used to modify future nudge messages.
