System and method for rewarding healthy behaviors and exchanging health related data

Abstract

The disclosed systems and methods improve on the current landscape surrounding rewards for healthy behaviors, creates a social community around various stakeholders in the healthcare system and implements discussions around preventative medicine and healthy lifestyles. Using either a traditional network or decentralized architecture, the present system creates a community around all stakeholders and facilitates recommendations and rewards in exchange for targeted lifestyle changes, such as modifications to diet, exercise, nutrition, lifestyle, psychology, rest management, hydration, and the inclusion of vitamins and supplements. The present invention further incorporates a third party marketplace that provides incentives to patient communities for accessing information and taking active steps towards living a healthier life.

1 . A method for promoting, maintaining and rewarding health and wellness, the method comprising:
 a network, the network comprising:   a plurality of nodes, wherein each node in the plurality of nodes is configured to transact autonomously with at least two nodes in the plurality of nodes and configured to communicate with at least one server;   the at least one server, the at least one server comprising at least one hardware processor, a non-transitory machine-readable storage medium having an executable computer readable program code, the at least one hardware processor configured to execute the computer-readable program code;   the server, capable of identifying at least one account holder using a private key and a public key and connected to a rewards engine; and   the rewards engine configured to categorize at least one account holder, wherein each participating member of a healthcare network is rewarded for compliance with healthcare provider recommendations, and wherein said healthcare provider provides said recommendations directly to said participating member of a healthcare network via secure private communication, and wherein additional third-party payers participate in said network in response to guidance of said healthcare provider by marketing and selling healthy products corresponding with said healthcare provider recommendations by way of said network and each participating member is rewarded by any other network payer member by providing personal data to said network payer members and said payer members will be incentivized to participate in response to said payers tracking and implementing incentives to reduce healthcare costs and improve profitability of said network for the benefit of all members of said network.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the reward processed by said server is in the form of FIAT currency. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , further configured allow transactions on a virtual marketplace. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein said network is configured a blockchain network. 
     
     
         5 . A system for distributing rewards on a network, the method comprising:
 a server, the server comprising at least one hardware processor, a non-transitory machine-readable storage medium, the server configured to:   receive at least one term governing the distribution of a reward, the digital address of the intended recipient of a reward, and a reward amount;   validate the completion of the at least one term governing the distribution of the reward; and   distributing the reward, wherein each participating member of a healthcare network is rewarded for compliance with healthcare provider recommendations, wherein said healthcare provider provides said healthcare provider recommendations directly to said participating member of a healthcare network securely and privately, and wherein additional third-party payers participate in said network in response to guidance of said healthcare provider by marketing and selling healthy products corresponding with said healthcare provider recommendations by way of said network and each participating member is rewarded by any other network payer member by providing personal data to said other network payer members and said payer members will be incentivized to participate in response to said payers tracking and implementing incentives to reduce healthcare costs and improve profitability of said network for the benefit of all members of said network.   
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 5 , wherein the rewards are FIAT currency. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 5 , capable of analyzing and storing information regarding the at least two stakeholders. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 5 , wherein each of the at least two stakeholders can define the terms governing the distribution of the reward. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 5 , capable of registering a user account for at least two stakeholders wherein said server further is capable of allowing communication between the at least two stakeholders. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 5 , further connected to a virtual marketplace. 
     
     
         11 . A decentralized network for autonomously distributing rewards, the decentralized network comprising:
 at least one hardware processor, a non-transitory machine-readable storage medium having an executable computer readable program code, the at least one hardware processor configured to execute the computer-readable program code to:   receive an executable smart contract;   the smart contract containing at least one term governing the distribution of a reward, a reward amount, and an address of the intended recipient of the reward;   receive a request to validate the completion of the at least one term of the smart contract,   validate the completion of the at least one term of smart contract; transfer the reward amount to the distribution address; and update a ledger with the distribution information, wherein each participating member of a healthcare network is rewarded for compliance with healthcare provider recommendations, and wherein said healthcare provider recommendations are provided directly to said participating member of a healthcare network in a secure private manner associated with private records attributed to said participating member if a healthcare network, and wherein additional third-party payers participate in said network in response to guidance of said healthcare provider by marketing and selling healthy products corresponding with said healthcare provider recommendations by way of said network and each participating member is rewarded by any other network payer member by providing personal data to said other network payer member and said payer member will be incentivized to participate in response to said payers tracking and implementing incentives to reduce healthcare costs and improve profitability of said network for the benefit of all members of said network.   
     
     
         12 . The decentralized network of  claim 11 , wherein the at least one term governing the distribution of a reward is defined by at least one end user. 
     
     
         13 . The decentralized network of  claim 11 , wherein the at least one term governing the distribution of a reward requests the recipient of the reward to make a behavioral change. 
     
     
         14 . The decentralized network of  claim 11 , wherein the at least one term governing the distribution of a reward requests the recipient of the reward to make a psychological change. 
     
     
         15 . The decentralized network of  claim 11 , wherein the at least one term governing the distribution of a reward requests the recipient of the reward to make a health change. 
     
     
         16 . The decentralized network of  claim 11 , wherein the at least one term governing the distribution of a reward requests the recipient of the reward to implement some form of preventative medicine.
