Methods and systems for rewarding personal well-being

Abstract

A method and system of providing personalized rewards for lifestyle management of a user includes receiving various target goals from the user. The target goals relate to the personal health, community involvement and financial planning of the user. As such, the method and system include receiving and analyzing a first set of data during a first period of time to determine whether the user has met the target goals during the first period of time. In response to determining that the user has met the target goals, the method and system include receiving and analyzing a second set of data during a second period of time to determine whether the user has maintained the target goals during the second period of time. In response to determining that the user has maintained the target goals, the method and system include determining and transmitting one or more personalized rewards to the user.

What is claimed is:

         5 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 1 , wherein determining whether the community goal has been maintained includes determining whether the continued community activity level is equal to or greater than the current community activity level during the second time period. 
     
     
         6 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 accumulating reward points when the health goal and the community goal were met during the first time period;   accumulating additional reward points when the health goal and the community goal were maintained during the second time period; and   determining the at least one reward based upon the accumulated reward points.   
     
     
         7 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one reward includes one or more indications of money, a personalized product, a personalized service, a personalized insurance adjustment, a personalized discount on goods and services, and a personalized recommendation of goods and services. 
     
     
         8 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 establishing, by the computing device, a plurality of intermediate goals for each of the health goal and the community goal; and   transmitting, by the computing device to the at least one device, the plurality of intermediate goals;   wherein the current and continued health levels are determined based upon a completion status of each of the plurality of intermediate goals established for the health goal and the current and continued community activity levels are determined based upon a completion status of each of the plurality of intermediate goals established for the community goal.   
     
     
         9 . A computer system for providing rewards for lifestyle management of a user, comprising:
 at least one device associated with the user; and   a computing device communicatively connected to the at least one device, the computing device configured to:
 receive, from the at least one device, a health goal and a community goal; 
 determine, using a first data set received from the at least one device during a first time period, whether the health goal and the community goal were met during the first time period, the first data set indicating a current health level and a current community activity level; 
 respond to determining that the health goal and the community goal were met by determining, using a second data set received from the at least one device during a second time period, whether the health goal and the community goal were maintained during the second time period, the second data set indicating a continued health level and a continued community activity level; and 
 respond to determining that the health goal and the community goal were maintained by transmitting to the at least one device information indicating at least one reward for the user. 
   
     
     
         10 . The computer system of  claim 9 , wherein the computing device is configured to determine whether the health goal has been met by determining whether the current health level is equal to or greater than a desired health level during the first time period. 
     
     
         11 . The computer system of  claim 9 , wherein the computing device is configured to determine whether the health goal has been maintained by determining whether the continued health level is equal to or greater than the current health level during the second time period. 
     
     
         12 .
