Abstract
A health-program system and method provides health programs for users to select, receives data related to users' progress in a selected health program and determines users' status in the program which is provided for display to the users.
Claims21
A method executed in a computer system for providing and monitoring health-related activities to users, the computer system including a database, the method comprising:
- receiving at the computer system a request for health-related programs, the request including at least one criterion;
- accessing in the database a profile for the user, the profile comprising health-related information about the user;
- automatically selecting from the database a plurality of health-related programs matching the criteria and responsive to the health-related information about the user, each matching health-related program comprising a goal or a routine including at least one task;
- transmitting for display to a client device of the user the matching health-related programs;
- receiving from the user a selection of one of the matching health-related programs;
- storing in the database an identifier for the selected health-related program in association with the user to indicate the user's participation with the health-related program;
- receiving data related to the user's progress towards the goal or completion of one of the tasks of the routine in the selected health-related program;
- storing the received data in the database in association with the user and the selected health-related program, to update the selected health-related program with the user's progress;
- determining a status of the user in the selected health-related program based upon the received data related to the user's progress;
- and
- transmitting for display to the client device of the user the status of the user in the selected health-related program.

- automatically selecting from a database a plurality of health-related programs matching the criteria and responsive to the health-related information about the user, each matching health-related program comprising a goal or a routine including at least one task;
- transmitting for display to a client device of the user the matching health-related programs;
- receiving from the user a selection of one of the matching health-related programs;
- storing in the database an identifier for the selected health-related program in association with the user to indicate the user's participation with the health-related program;
- receiving data related to the user's progress towards the goal or completion of one of the tasks of the routine of the selected health-related program;
- storing the received data in the database in association with the user and the selected health-related program, to update the selected health-related program with the user's progress;
- determining a status of the user in the selected health-related program based upon the received data related to the user's progress;
- and
- transmitting for display to the client device of the user the status of the user in the selected health-related program.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium containing program code, comprising program code that when executed by a processor performs the steps of:
- receiving a request for health-related programs, the request including at least one criterion;
- accessing a profile for the user, the profile comprising health-related information about the user;
- automatically selecting from a database a plurality of health-related programs matching the criteria and responsive to the health-related information about the user, each matching health-related program comprising a goal or a routine including at least one task;
- transmitting for display to a client device of the user the matching health-related programs;
- receiving from the user a selection of one of the matching health-related programs;
- storing in the database an identifier for the selected health-related program in association with the user to indicate the user's participation with the health-related program;
- receiving data related to the user's progress towards the goal or completion of one of the tasks of the routine of the selected health-related program;
- storing the received data in the database in association with the user and the selected health-related program, to update the selected health-related program with the user's progress;
- determining a status of the user in the selected health-related program based upon the received data related to the user's progress;
- and
- transmitting for display to the client device of the user the status of the user in the selected health-related program.
