Numerous other aspects are provided. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A system comprising: a mobile device; and one or more biometric sensors configured to measure biometric data of a user, the one or more biometric sensors operative to communicate measured biometric data to the mobile device, the mobile device configured to: collect first information provided by or about the user; collect second information about the user from the one or more biometric sensors, including at least one of exercise information and sleep information for the user; determine one or more recommended future, health-related behaviors for the user to perform, the one or more recommended future, health-related behaviors being determined based on the first and second collected information; communicate at least one of the recommended future, health-related behaviors to the user via an avatar; generate a reminder to perform the at least one of the recommended future, health-related behaviors, the reminder including an avatar representing an appearance of the user; display, at a first time, first visual information indicating a skewed life expectancy of the user wherein the first visual information is based on the collected second information; and display, at a second time, second visual information indicating a readjusted life expectancy of the user, wherein the readjusted life expectancy of the user is based on the collected second information on which the first visual information is based. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1 wherein the one or more biometric sensors includes at least two biometric sensors that together are configured to monitor two or more of heart rate, perspiration, and acceleration. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1 wherein the first information includes food intake information of the user, and wherein the mobile device is configured to obtain at least one of the one or more recommended future, health-related behaviors for the user to perform based thereon. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1 wherein the first information includes travel information for the user and wherein the mobile device is configured to obtain at least one of the one or more recommended future, health-related behaviors for the user to perform based thereon. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The system of claim 4 wherein the mobile device is configured to track travel of the user by using GPS. ### Claim 6 (depends on 4) The system of claim 4 wherein the mobile device is configured to track travel of the user by monitoring internet searches performed by the user on the mobile device. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1 wherein at least one of the first information and second information includes sleep information of the user, and wherein the mobile device is operative to obtain at least one of the one or more recommended future, health-related behaviors for the user to perform based thereon. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1 wherein the first information includes relationship information of the user, and wherein the mobile device is configured to obtain future, health-related behaviors for the user to perform based thereon. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The system of claim 8 wherein the mobile device is configured to obtain relationship information of the user from one or more social networking sites. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1 wherein the first information includes spending of the user, and wherein the mobile device is configured to obtain at least one of the one or more recommended future, health-related behaviors for the user to perform based thereon. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The system of claim 10 wherein the mobile device is configured to track spending of the user by tracking payments made using the mobile device. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1 wherein the first information includes information regarding at least one of drinking habits, and smoking habits of the user, and wherein the mobile device is configured to obtain at least one of the one or more recommended future, health-related behaviors for the user to perform based thereon. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1 wherein the mobile device is configured to recognize at least one stimulus experienced by the user that is a trigger of the user for engaging in a predetermined habit. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The system of claim 13 wherein the mobile device is configured to recognize at least one stimulus experienced by the user that is a trigger of the user for engaging in overeating. ### Claim 15 (depends on 13) The system of claim 13 wherein the mobile device is configured to alert the user of an occurrence of the trigger. ### Claim 16 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1 wherein the mobile device is configured to track stress levels of the user based on measured biometric data and to obtain at least one of the one or more recommended future, health-related behaviors for the user to perform based thereon. ### Claim 17 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1 wherein the mobile device is configured to access a calendar of the user on the mobile device, determine when the user should go to bed based on activities to be performed on a subsequent day and alert the user when to go to bed. ### Claim 18 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1 wherein the mobile device is configured to communicate the recommended future, behavior by causing a calendar of the user on the mobile device to generate one or more reminders that remind the user to perform the behavior. ### Claim 19 A system comprising: a mobile device; and one or more biometric sensors configured to measure biometric data of a user, the one or more biometric sensors configured to communicate measured biometric data to the mobile device, the mobile device configured to: collect information from the mobile device and the one or more biometric sensors, including at least one of exercise information and sleep information of the user; determine one or more recommended future, health-related behaviors for the user to perform, the one or more recommended future, health-related behaviors based on the collected information; and communicate at least one of the one or more recommended future, health-related behaviors to the user; access a calendar of the user on the mobile device; generate one or more reminders that remind the user to perform the at least one of the one or more recommended future, health-related behaviors, the one or more reminders including an avatar representing an appearance of the user; display, at a first time, first visual information indicating a skewed life expectancy of the user, wherein the first visual information is based on the collected information; and display, at a second time, second visual information indicating a readjusted non-skewed life expectancy of the user, wherein the second visual information is based on the collected information. ### Claim 20 (depends on 19) The system of claim 19 wherein the mobile device is configured to access a calendar of the user on the mobile device, determine when the user should go to bed based on activities to be performed on a subsequent day and alert the user when to go to bed.
