Telemedicine methods for management of a health condition

A method for managing a health condition in a subject in need thereof by reinforced lifestyle adjustment based on one or more underlying motivations, the method comprising:

• obtaining, from the subject at a first time point, a first scored self-assessment for a plurality of health-related categories across a plurality of metrics, the first self-assessment including, for each respective health-related category in the plurality of health-related categories:
• a first measure of the subject's assessment of their own health relative to the respective health-related category,
• a first measure of the subject's satisfaction with their own health relative to the respective health-related category, and
• a first measure of the subject's desire to improve their own health relative to the respective health-related category;
• selecting a first subset of health-related categories from the plurality of health-related categories based on the first scored self-assessment;
• facilitating subject creation of a health vision plan for improving the health of the subject with respect to the selected subset of health-related categories using first information arising from one or more meetings with the subject, wherein the first information comprises:
• a description of the subject's desired health outcome elicited from the subject, and
• one or more values, one or more personal experiences, one or more behaviors, or one or more motivations of the subject elicited from discussion with the subject,
• establishing a short term goal for improving the health of the subject, relative to the selected subset of health-related categories, over a first epoch,
• establishing a long term goal for improving the health of the subject, relative to the selected subset of health-related categories, over a second epoch, wherein the second epoch subsumes the first epoch and is at least twice as long as the first epoch, and the short term goal and the long term goal create a path between the subject's current health and the subject's desired health with respect to the selected subset of health-related categories,
• identifying one or more strategies the subject believes will be effective to achieve the short or long term goals;
• identifying, based on at least the one or more identified strategies, at least one action step for the subject to take in furtherance of achieving the short or long term goal;
• re-evaluating the at least one action step using second information obtained from a primary follow-up meeting with the subject, wherein the follow-up meeting occurs after one or more initial meetings and during the first and second epochs, and wherein the second information comprises:
• a description of the subject's perception of their execution of the at least one action step elicited from the subject,
• a determination of whether the subject wishes to modify the long term goal, the short term goal, or the at least one action step, wherein
• when it is determined that the subject wishes to modify the long term goal, the short term goal, or the at least one action step, the long term goal, the short term goal, or the at least one action step is reestablished in modified form;
• re-evaluating the at least one action step during each of a series of secondary follow-up meetings with the subject, wherein the series of secondary follow-up meetings occur after the primary follow-up meeting and during the second epoch;
• and
• providing to the subject, outside of a meeting with the subject, one or more messages that include content configured to (i) encourage the subject to achieve the long term goal or the short term goal, (ii) remind the subject of one or more of the at least one action step, and/or (iii) educate the subject on the selected subset of health-related categories.
