ABSTRACT:
Apparatuses, computer media, and methods for supporting health needs of a consumer by processing input data. An integrated health management platform supports the management of healthcare by obtaining multi-dimensional input data for a consumer, determining a health-trajectory predictor from the multi-dimensional input data, identifying a target of opportunity for the consumer in accordance with the health-trajectory predictor, and offering the target of opportunity for the consumer. A health benefit plan is offered from a set of health benefit plan configurations. Responses from members of a consumer group are received that are responsive to a questionnaire and preferred health benefit plans chosen by members of the group are predicted. From the responses, an overall enrollment distribution is estimated. A plurality of health benefit plans is offered to the group when a minimum economic objective is obtained from the set of health benefit plan configurations.
