HEALTH MANAGEMENT PLATFORM AND METHODS

A computer-implemented interactive social networking based system and methods allowing efficient health management. In an illustrative implementation, a computing environment comprises a healthcare portfolio management engine (HPME) having at least one instruction providing for the creation of one or more healthcare programs comprising one or more incentives that can be achieved by completing one or more healthcare promoting activities. In an illustrative implementation, the HPME can also comprise healthcare portfolio guidelines that provide threshold requirements including community feedback to assist participating users in managing the user's health. Further, the HPME allows for the sharing of a user's health data according to a selected community-based health promoting model. In an illustrative operation, participating users, community members, incentive sponsors, and/or healthcare collaborators can interact with the computing environment to share data representative of program support, incentives, services, and/or products to assist the user in achieving better health.
