Abstract
An avatar-incentive healthcare therapy system has a physiological monitor for generating a physiological parameter indicative of physical health. An academic test for generating a test score is indicative of mental acuity. The avatar has outward characteristics and game play capabilities proportional to the physiological health and the mental acuity so as to incentivize improved physical health and academic performance.
Claims20
A method of generating a computer avatar of a person for a display, the method comprising:
- measuring a physiological parameter indicative of a person's health, wherein the measuring comprises:
- optically sensing the person's pulsatile blood flow;
- and
- calculating a blood parameter responsive to the optical sensing;
- administrating a mental skills test indicative of the person's mental prowess;
- constructing the computer avatar with clothing that reflects responsive to the person's health as determined from the measured physiological parameter and the mental prowess as determined from the administered mental skills test;
- displaying the computer avatar on a display;
- and
- changing a performance capability of the computer avatar in a video game responsive to the person's health as determined from the measured physiological parameter and the mental prowess as determined from the administered mental skills test.
