Abstract
Methods, computer systems, and computer-readable storage media are provided for utilizing health-related variables to generate a current health state of a user along with a most-likely future health state of the user and an ideal future health state of the user. Graphical representations of these health states are generated and presented on a graphical user interface. The user is able to interact with the graphical representations to see the impact of the user's choices on the user's future health.
Claims20
One or more computer-readable storage media, executable by a computing device, to display a graphical user interface (GUI) for displaying a current health state of a user and one or more projected future health states of the user, the GUI comprising:
- a first display area configured to display one or more graphical representations of health-related variables associated with the user at a current period of time;
- a second display area configured to display one or more graphical representations of health-related variables associated with the user at a future period of time;
- and
- a third display area configured to display goals and recommendations related to the user achieving an ideal future health state.
One or more computer-readable storage media, executable by a computing device, to display a graphical user interface (GUI) for displaying a user's current and most-likely future health state along with goals and recommendations for achieving an ideal future health state, the graphical user interface comprising:
- a body image representation of the user, the body image representation comprising a graphical representation of health-related variables associated with the user at a current period of time or a future period of time;
- a first display area configured to display one or more selectable user-customized goals related to the user achieving an ideal future health state;
- incident to the user selecting at least one of the one or more user-customized goals, a second display area configured to display a selectable set of recommendations related to the user achieving the at least one of the one or more user-customized goals;
- and
- incident to the user selecting at least one recommendation of the set of recommendations, a third display area configured to display a graphical representation of the at least one of the one or more user-customized goals based on the at least one recommendation of the set of recommendations, the graphical representation encompassing a future period of time.
One or more computer-readable storage media having embodied thereon computer executable instructions that, when executed by a server, perform a method of using health-related variables associated with a user having a health condition to generate current and future health states of the user, the method comprising:
- receiving structured and unstructured health-related data associated with the user having the health condition, the health-related data comprising data over a past period of time up to a current period of time, the health-related data comprising general data about the user and specific data about the health condition;
- codifying the structured and unstructured health-related data into a set of codified concepts of standard nomenclature;
- and
- utilizing the set of codified concepts to:
- (A) determine a current health state of the user, the current health state of the user comprising a percentile comparison of the user to members of the population-at-large,
- (B) determine a most-likely future health state of the user based on the general data about the user and the specific data about the health condition.
- generating a first graphical representations of the current health state of the user and generating a second graphical representation of the most-likely future health state of the user;
- and
- rendering the first and second graphical representations on a graphical user interface (GUI).
