`ABSTRACT
`
`General health and wellness management techniques and
`devices are configured for use with a data-capable personal
`worn or carried device. In one embodiment, a method receiv(cid:173)
`ing data representing a profile upon which a target score is
`established based on one or more health-related activities,
`and acquiring data representing one or more subsets of
`acquired parameters based on, for example, one or more
`sensors disposed in a wearable computing device. The
`method can include determining data representing values for
`the one or more subsets of the acquired parameters based on
`reference values for the parameters set forth in the profile and
`calculating at a first processor a score based on data repre(cid:173)
`senting the values. The score represents an attained portion of
`the one or more health-related activities. In some cases, the
`method includes causing presentation of a representation of
`the score relative to the target score.
