Method for motivating behavioral changes through rewards

摘要

A method of motivating a person, through reward benefits, to participate in activities leading to a selected behavior wherein a benefactor establishes and defines a system of required behaviors for a beneficiary. The required behaviors earn the reward benefits, prior to a deadline for compliance. A program manager monitors the behaviors through transactional reports generated by participating third party vendors, compares the behaviors to the requirements, and distributes portions of the reward benefits to the beneficiary in accordance with the terms of a contract. The program ends when either the benefit account is depleted or the deadline is reached. Thus, the present method provides motivation for changing the beneficiary's lifestyle and releases a stream of rewards when lifestyle goals are being met.
