Structured Tailoring for Adaptive Behavior Modification
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Behavior modification programs often fail to sustain adherence due to the difficulty in internalizing changes, as they lack personalized and adaptive approaches to address individual readiness, health, and activity levels.
Innovation Solution
A self-administered, structured tailoring method and system that performs an initial assessment based on individual inputs, tailors interventions, and provides personalized recommendations, skill development activities, and behavior support to enhance adherence and internalization of behavior changes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a predetermined and/or clinician determined series of steps and/or milestones are provided in behavior modification programs, then the program structure is established, but the user adherence and internalization of behavior changes deteriorate due to lack of personalization
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs an initial assessment before the behavior modification program begins, collecting information about the user's readiness for change, current health status, and activity level. This preliminary action enables the program to be tailored to the user's specific needs and circumstances from the outset, improving personalization without adding complexity during the actual program execution.
Solution Approach 2:
The behavior modification program is dynamically adjusted based on the initial assessment results. The system automatically cycles through goals, provides customized recommendations, and adapts the program structure to match the user's individual abilities and availability. This dynamic adaptation maintains personalization while using automated systems to manage complexity.
2Productivity
If automated cycling through goals and monitoring is implemented, then productivity and adherence are improved, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically cycles through goals and monitors progress without requiring continuous user intervention or clinician management. The automated system handles goal progression, adherence monitoring, and program adjustment independently, improving productivity while containing complexity within the automated infrastructure rather than requiring complex human-system interactions.
Solution Approach 2:
The system continuously monitors adherence to behavior modifications and provides feedback through the automated cycling mechanism. When goals are achieved or adherence issues arise, the system automatically adjusts the program and cycles to appropriate next steps, improving productivity through continuous feedback loops while using automated algorithms to manage system complexity.

AI summary
Embodiments related to a self-administered, behavior modification program facilitated through a structured tailoring method (700) and system (41) thereof which accelerates and enhances the internalization process of the individual (12), and which provides help when the individual (12) begins to fail in adhering or continuing with the behavior modification are disclosed. Program instructions that when executed by a processor (76, 102) causes a processor (76, 102) to initiate automatically a schedule of events (222) of a structured tailoring procedure (70) upon entry criteria (226) being met, provide intervention desired and/or best suited to the individual (12) when the adherence criteria (224) for one of the events (222) has not been met, and end automatically the structured collection procedure (70) upon exit criteria (228) being met.
