Description

Computer-implemented method for changing a lifestyle
The invention concerns a computer-implemented method for changing a lifestyle and a computer system for 5 implementing the method.
Many people have the desire to change their lifestyle. For instance obesity, lack of energy and/or poor health may trigger such desire. There are many change programs for each of the subjects of lifestyle. For instance, there are 10 a large number of obesity programs. Also for improvement of physical condition there is a wide range of programs to choose from. The problem is that these programs focus on such specific subject of lifestyle. The subjects of lifestyle are however interrelated. A well-known other problem of these 15 programs is changing motivation, during the program and after the program has finished, which may result in relapse or premature termination of the program. Another problem is that these programs set generalized objectives and disregard personal objectives and/or objectives that are optimized for a 20 certain person. However, each person requires an individual and integral approach and consequently the program provided should be individualized from a wide range of possible programs and program components. This results in such complexity that nevertheless, in daily practice, less optimal 25 and generalized programs are chosen.
The present invention intends to solve one or more of the problems of the prior art as described above.
The method according to the invention is characterized by one or several of the appended claims.
30 According to a first aspect of the invention the method of the invention is implemented by a computer system and comprises: - the computer system determining the characteristics of the current lifestyle of a person and/or the 35 characteristics of the preferred future lifestyle of a person and/or other preferences and characteristics of that person, on basis of information provided to the computer system; - on basis of such determination, the computer system 2 selecting an optimal lifestyle for that person, the selection made out of a source of lifestyles and/or a source of lifestyle components stored at the computer system; and 5 - the computer system recommending the optimal lifestyle.
The method according to the invention is computer implemented, which makes it possible to handle large complexity. The current and the preferred life style, as well 10 as other preferences and characteristics of a certain person may be determined on basis of information provided to the computer system. This information enables the computer to select the optimal lifestyle for that person. Such selection will be made out of a source of lifestyles and/or a source of 15 lifestyle components stored at the computer system. The optimal lifestyle will be recommended by the computer system. Such recommendation may be an integral recommendation for all interrelated life style subjects. In this way the optimal lifestyle for a specific person is selected, which provides 20 clear objectives for the lifestyle of that person. Moreover, these objectives will be perceived as realistic and feasible by that person. This will enhance motivation and will reduce the risk of relapse or premature termination of the change of lifestyle. As de computer can handle a high level of 25 complexity, the current and the optimal lifestyles may be defined by a large number of characteristics. Such detailed characterization of lifestyle makes a real individual recommendation of lifestyle possible.
According to another aspect of the invention the 30 method comprises entering the current and/or the preferred future lifestyle characteristics of a person and/or the other preferences of that person to one or more algorithms that select an optimal lifestyle out of the source of lifestyles and/or a source of lifestyle components stored at the computer 35 system. The algorithms provide a logic step-by-step procedure for handling the complexity of on the one hand the large amount of detailed information provided on the current and preferred lifestyle, as well as other preferences and 3 characteristics, and on the other hand the high level of detail in lifestyle characterization, reflected in a large source of lifestyles and lifestyle components. Such algorithms may for instance include a decision tree with different levels 5 of importance and may link the mental, physical and behavioral aspects of a lifestyle.
According to the invention the method may further comprise inquiry of a person by the computer system concerning the characteristics of a current and/or a preferred future 10 lifestyle and/or other preferences, in particular the physical and/or mental and/or behavioral characteristics of that person. In this way the computer will guide the user through the inquiry such that all relevant information of a person is obtained. The inquiry may in particular include questions 15 concerning the physical and/or mental and/or behavioral characteristics of that person. An integral picture of the physical, mental and behavioral condition will result in an optimal recommendation of the optimal lifestyle. A change of lifestyle based on the integral physical, mental and 20 behavioral aspects of a person will be more feasible and sustainable than a change of lifestyle that is based on just one of these aspects. The mental condition may, for instance, be inquired on basis of a psychology tool such as 'big five factors' also known as the 'five factor model'. In particular 25 the mental condition is a underestimated or neglected factor in the process of change of lifestyle. In its combination with physical and behavioral aspects it is however crucial for reaching the objectives of the change of lifestyle.
The method may, according to the invention, further 30 comprise selecting, out of a source of programs or program components, a program to ensure, in particular to train, a change of lifestyle and/or to implement the optimal lifestyle. In general the change of lifestyle will require a program to gradually bring the person from the current lifestyle to the 35 optimal lifestyle. In particular this may require a certain training program, for instance training of mindset and/or of behavior and/or physical training. Because of the uniqueness of a person and the individual approach of the method of the 4 invention, such program will be tailored to that person. Such tailored program may according to the invention be selected out of source of programs or program components.
To a further aspect of the invention the program 5 includes objectives, in particular time related objectives, for one or more lifestyle characteristics. Such objectives show what the person should strive for. Such objectives could be time related which provides the possibility for the method to include monitoring the development of one or more of the 10 lifestyle characteristics over time.
According to again another aspect of the invention, over time, once or more, one or more of the steps of the method are repeated. In this way the method becomes dynamic. For instance the current lifestyle, the preferred lifestyle 15 and other preferences may change in time and may result in another optimal lifestyle. As example, a person may have started in an optimistic mood and in a time period with considerable spare time. At a later stage, for instance a change of job may have reduced spare time considerably and the 20 person may have become less positive concerning the possibilities to change lifestyle or to change lifestyle as fast as previous thought. By repeating the method or steps thereof, the optimal lifestyle and/or the program may be adapted to the new circumstances.
25 In the same relation the method according to the invention may comprise the additional steps of - comparing the lifestyle characteristics with the time related objectives; and - suggesting possible modifications to the optimal 30 lifestyle and/or the program.
When in time the lifestyle characteristics do not meet the objectives set, the method may suggest possible modifications. For instance when, during the program, the initially selected optimal lifestyle appears to be too 35 ambitious, a new optimal lifestyle may be selected. When in time the optimal lifestyle as such seems not too ambitious, but the program appears to be too severe, the program may be modified, for instance such that the time related objectives 5 may be achieved later in time.
According to again another aspect of the invention the method may comprise making of an users profile, the users profile representing one or more of the characteristics of the 5 current lifestyle, of the preferred future lifestyle, the optimal lifestyle, the selected programs and the developments thereof. Such users profile maintains all relevant data concerning a person, which enhances a fast and unrestricted access to the method and to the computer system, as well as to 10 the current status and the history, each time a user enters the system. The computer system may report and/or display the users profile and the developments thereof. In particular the users profile and/or the developments thereof are represented in one or more avatars. Such avatars provide a direct and 15 recognizable representation of the current situation, possibly compared to previous situations. In particular, simultaneous with entering lifestyle characteristics the one or more avatars may be build up. In this way the user experiences instant satisfaction as the input is synchronous visualized.
20 This will enhance the motivation of the user to continue entering the requested data, even in case of an elaborate questionnaire .
The method may include the intermittent or continuous monitoring of the users profile and/or the developments of the 25 lifestyle characteristics for exceeding preset physical and/or preset mental and/or preset behavioral boundaries and policies and the computer system initiating an adequate response to such excess. In particular for safety reasons, but also for liability reasons, it may be desirable to set certain 30 boundaries and to exclude the user from the program and/or to have an intervention by a qualified person, in particular a personal coach. Such intervention may for instance also be initiated when it is observed that a person needs some additional support in the training program. The intervention 35 of a coach may also be introduced as a standard service or on basis of an explicit request by the user. Also several coaches may be made available when a person requires support of qualified persons for several aspects (mental, physical, 6 behavioral) of the training program.
The computer system according to the invention for implementing the method comprises: - an input/output device arranged for introducing and 5 receiving data, in particular personal data, general lifestyle data and recommendations; - a server for determining the optimal lifestyle and recommending the optimal lifestyle and/or programs and/or objectives and/or modifications and/or 10 interventions; - one or more storage devices comprising sources of lifestyles and/or components thereof and/or programs and/or components thereof and or user profiles and/or developments thereof.
15 In an embodiment of the computer system one or more of the input/output devices, the determination devices, the storage devices and the recommendation devices are connected at distance by one or more servers. Such configuration provides a typical network architecture, in particular an 20 internet architecture, wherein the input/output device of the user may be at a distance of the other devices. Also the devices, although connected, may be located at different places .
The various aspects of the invention will now be 25 described in more detail and will be elucidated, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawing which shows in:
Figure 1, a computer system for implementing the method of the invention; and 30 Figure 2, a flow diagram for the method according to the invention.
The computer system of figure 1 has a typical client-server architecture in an internet environment. The input/output device 1 may be operated by a user or any other 35 person on behalf of the user. The user, a person interested to change lifestyle, is by the input/output device 1 connected to one or more servers 3. Such connection may be wired and/or wireless. In this case the input/output device 1 is wireless, 7 so called 'in the cloud 2' wireless connected to server 3. The input/output device 1 may be any terminal with display, such as a mobile phone, a tablet, a netbook, a notebook or a personal computer. The server 3 comprises amongst others a 5 determination device 4, which determination device 4 is designed for determining the optimal life style of the user. The optimal life style will be based on the current lifestyle characteristics of the user, as well as the preferred life style of the user and the other preferences and 10 characteristics of the user. The determination device 4 will be provided with the relevant information as entered by the user at the input/output device 1. In a preferred configuration the server will sent an inquiry to the input/output device 1 and the user will answer the inquiry at 15 the output/input device 1. The answers will be sent to server 3 and in particular the determination device 4 thereof. On basis of this information the determination device 4 will decide which life style is optimal for the user. The server 3 is connected to a source 7 which comprises lifestyles and 20 components thereof. The determination device 4 will typically contain an algorithm that systematically will decide which lifestyle of source 7 is optimal. This may be a readily available lifestyle or may be a lifestyle composed out of the lifestyle components. The algorithm may for instance be a 25 decision tree with different levels of importance. The optimal lifestyle will then be transferred to recommendation device 5. The recommendation device 5 has also access to source 7 and in particular to a source of programs and components thereof. On basis of the optimal lifestyle and the information provided by 30 the user a program will be selected out of the readily available programs at source 7, or may be composed out of the available program components. The optimal lifestyle and the proposed program will then be transferred to and be displayed at the input/output device 1 of the user. Typically the user 35 may react on the recommendations and request amendments. The process may then be repeated and possibly result in an amended recommendation. The current lifestyle, the preferred life and other preferences of the user are stored at the server in the 8 server profile 6. The server profile 6 may also contain the optimal lifestyle and the proposed program. Also the developments during the program may be stored in the users profile 6. During the program the user will then be asked to 5 enter certain characteristics of the current life style. This also provides the possibility to have server 3 monitor the developments. If at a certain point in time the server observes that certain objectives of the program are not reached or not in time, it may suggest to amend the optimal 10 lifestyle and/or the program and make a new selection from source 7. Also the server may decide to ask intervention of a coach 8. Of course it may also be decided to have a coach introduced from the beginning of the program. On basis of preset boundaries or a certain policy the server 3 may also 15 decide to intervene and, for instance, stop the program for safety reasons.
Figure 2 provides a possible flow diagram for the method according to the invention. In the flow diagram the input/output device 1 related objects are separated from those 20 at the server 3. In step 9 the user will register or log-in. Typically a first user will register, where a repeated user will log-in in order to have the users profile 6 loaded and immediately start. The first time user will be sent an inquiry at step 10, which inquiry will be received at step 11. The 25 user will than enter the answers at the input/output device 1. The information will be sent at step 12 to server 3. The server will in step 13 determine the current and the preferred lifestyle, as well as other preferences and characteristics. This determination will be applied in step 14 to select the 30 optimal lifestyle. The selected optimal lifestyle will be applied in step 17 to select a program and to set objectives. The results of step 15 and 17 are then provided to and displayed at the input/output device 3 at the steps 16 respectively 18. The user may enter the developments of the 35 program (step 19) which information will be provided to server 3. The server may then monitor the developments (step 20). The monitoring may result in an iteration of a part of the method, starting at step 13. A new optimal lifestyle and program may 9 then be recommended, for instance when the original optimal lifestyle appears to be too ambitious or the timeframe to reach the optimal lifestyle too short. Also the personal circumstances of the user may have changed. For instance a new 5 job with les spare time may require a less ambitious goal or a longer timeframe for the program. The monitoring may also result in recommending a personal coach 8. The coach may provide personal advice which advice will be displayed in step 22 at the output/input device 1. The user may enter personal 10 questions to the coach (step 23).
The information of several steps of the method are entered in and stored at the users profile 6. The information of the users profile may be made available during each step of the method and may be displayed, automatically or at request 15 of the user or the coach, at the input/output device 3.
A typical application of the method according to the invention is a weight control or obesity program. Persons with overweight or suffering from obesity may by themselves or for medical reasons, on the advice of a doctor, wish to start a 20 program for weight reduction. Such programs appear to be successful in only in a few cases. Most programs are to general and combine a diet with some exercise. Most users of these programs observe a so called 'yo-yo-effeet', which means that a period of losing weight is followed by a period of 25 weight gain. Most user do not understand the reasons for such 'yo-yo-effeet' and get frustrated and demotivated.
Over time it has become clear that a program may only be successful if each person is treated at an individual basis. Each person has an individual and unique physical, 30 mental and behavior characterization. In general weight control programs and obesity programs are tailored on only a few of the physical and behavior characteristics of that person. The other physical and behavioral characteristics are neglected. For instance eating and sleeping patterns, personal 35 metabolism and the mobility profile are not always taken into account. Moreover, mental characteristics are almost never taken into account. These mental characteristics are however very important for success or failure of the program. A person 10 with less optimistic character and that lacks self-confidence must be treated different against an optimistic person with great self-confidence. A detailed mental characterization may for instance be established by including in an inquiry a 5 psychology tool such as 'big five factors' also known as the 'five factor model'. By detailing the mental, the physical and behavioral characterization in order to obtain a real individual profile, the complexity increases considerably.
In fact a weight control program or an obesity program 10 requires a change of lifestyle both with respect to physical, mental and behavior aspects. There are a great number of factors that that may be influenced in this respect. Also this increases complexity of an individualized advice.
Moreover a change of lifestyle may require a step by 15 step approach and training of certain aspects, for instance positive thinking. Accordingly in general the objectives will be reached gradually with monitoring of the developments. Possibly, during the program amendment of the program or the training is required. Again this increase complexity of an 20 adequate lifestyle change.
The method of the invention is capable to handle such complexity and is therefore in particular suitable for change of lifestyle in relation to overweight or obesity treatment.
To the person skilled in art it is obvious that the 25 above given embodiments of the method represent only a few of the many possible variations in which the method according to the invention may be executed. Therefore the embodiments given here must be understood as an elucidation to the appended claims without limiting the scope of the invention. Within the 30 protective scope numerous variations are conceivable. For instance the avatars may be build up simultaneous with entering data, in particular lifestyle characteristics, in the computer system. The entered data are then synchronous visualized. This provides an additional motivation to continue 35 entering data, even when the questionnaire is elaborate in order to obtain a detailed users profile. In this way the user is in a continuous visual interaction with the computer system. For instance in an obesity program the avatar may 11 reflect the body contour of the user. When during the obesity program progress is made and the intermediate results are entered and are immediately displayed this will boost motivation and the user will look forward to enter the data.
