Behavioral risk analyzer and application that estimates the risk of performing undesired behavior

A system for coaching a subject, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory storing instructions, executable by the processor, wherein the instructions when executed by the processor cause the system to:
• receive data corresponding to at least one of a desired behavior of the subject or an undesired behavior of the subject;
• receive a level of available self control of the subject via an input source;
• calculate a level of required self control needed to perform the desired behavior or suppress the undesired behavior;
• analyze a risk based on the level of available self control and the level of required self control, wherein the risk is associated with predicting whether the subject will perform the undesired behavior or not perform the desired behavior;
• and
• intervene when the risk analyzed is above a particular threshold.

An apparatus for coaching a subject, comprising:

• a receiving unit configured to receive data corresponding to at least one of a desired behavior of a subject or an undesired behavior of a subject;
• a calculating unit configured to calculate a level of available self control of the subject and a level of required self control needed to perform the desired behavior or suppress the undesired behavior;
• a risk assessment unit configured to analyze a risk based on the level of available self control and the level of required self control, wherein the risk is associated with predicting whether the subject will perform the undesired behavior or not perform the desired behavior;
• and
• an intervention unit configured to intervene when the risk analyzed by the risk assessment unit is above a particular threshold.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a program which, when executed by a computer, causes the computer to perform a method for coaching a subject, comprising:

• receiving data corresponding to at least one of a desired behavior of the subject or an undesired behavior of the subject;
• receiving a level of available self control of the subject via an input source;
• calculating a level of required self control needed to perform the desired behavior or suppress the undesired behavior;
• analyzing a risk based on the level of available self control and the level of required self control, wherein the risk is associated with predicting whether the subject will perform the undesired behavior or not perform the desired behavior;
• and
• intervening when the risk analyzed is above a particular threshold.
