Health-related data collection system for healthcare diagnostics and treatment platforms

A health-related data collection system for healthcare diagnostics and treatment platforms, comprising:

• a piece of exercise equipment comprising a sensor configured to provide a first set of health-related data about a physiological aspect of a person using the exercise equipment while engaged in a virtual reality environment;
• a network-connected computing device comprising a memory and a processor;
• a frontend service comprising a first plurality of programming instructions stored in the memory which, when operating on the processor, causes the network-connected computing device to:
• receive a network connection from a game client, the game client operating on a remote computing device associated with the person and configured to transmit health-related information about the person to the frontend service;
• operate the virtual reality environment for engagement by the person while exercising on the exercise equipment, wherein the virtual reality environment is configured to capture a second set of health-related data about the person via in-game activities performed by the person while engaged in the virtual reality environment;
• transmit virtual reality environment data to the game client, the virtual reality environment data comprising data for rendering of the virtual reality environment on the remote computing device on which the game client is operating;
• and
• a HIPPA-compliant security gateway comprising a second plurality of programming instructions stored in the memory which, when operating on the processor, causes the network-connected computing device to:
• establish a HIPPA-compliant health data tunnel with the game client;
• direct the game client to send the first and second sets of health-related data to the HIPPA-compliant security gateway via that HIPPA-compliant health data tunnel;
• and
• store the health-related data in a patient database.
