• ii. the subject's current physical condition;
• c) the computer system allocating a unique identifier to the human subject and associating such identifier against at least some of the healthcare providers where said some of the healthcare providers are deemed relevant to the human subject;
• d) the computer system generating a personalised healthcare plan for the subject based on at least the information i and ii, and recording the healthcare plan against the unique identifier for the subject, the healthcare plan comprising computer recorded data indicating steps that need to be taken by the subject and by at least one of the deemed relevant healthcare providers in order to achieve compliance with the care plan;

• i) whether the human subject is compliant with the healthcare plan;
• and/or
• ii) whether at least one physical condition of the human subject complies with one or more recorded rule(s) of the computer system;
• g) the system generating and at least initiating a message which is transmitted to the subject and/or at least one of the deemed relevant healthcare providers, in at least one case to a remote system or to a remote device, such message comprising:
• i) a reminder as to an upcoming or missed action necessary for compliance with the subject's care plan;
