ABSTRACT:
An automated and interactive positive motivation system (10) that allows a doctor or trainer to produce and send a series of motivational messages and/or questions to a client (50) to motivate or reinforce a specific behavioral problem. The system (2) consists of a client database (12) that includes for each client the name, calling schedule and personal identification number (PIN) and a client program (14) that includes for each client unique motivational messages and/or questions which can be used alone or with such devices as an electronic weight scale (38), olfactory unit (40), and voice stress analyzer (42) that require a client response. The database and program are operated by a computer (16) that at preselected time periods sends the messages and/or questions to a client's dual tone multifrequency telephone set (26) via a digital/telephone tone signal converter (18) and a telephone network (24). Before the messages and/or questions are sent, the client must transmit to the computer (16) via the telephone set (26), a valid PIN.
