20090254373 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR COMMUNICATING WITH CHIROPRACTIC PATIENTS - Methods and apparatus for communicating with chiropractic patients are disclosed. A hosting company sells a chiropractor a membership that includes a predetermined number of downloads of a patient wellness break software application. The chiropractor then gives access code(s) to patients and/or prospective patients for free that allows them to download the wellness break software. The software enables the delivery of wellness articles, wellness breaks, health tips and/or other information. Each patient sets up his/her user profile including time slots indicating when and where the user wants to receive wellness communications. For example, a health tip may include a picture (e.g., of a person sitting up straight with their arms and fingers in a particular position), a caption (e.g., “Sit up straight with your arms in a V-shape and your thumbs back for ten seconds.”), and an additional tip (e.g., “Did you know drinking water . . . ”). The health tip may be generic or patient specific based on input from the associated chiropractor. | 10-08-2009 |
