A health management system comprising: one or more memories at a central location which store a patient profile corresponding to each of a plurality of patients and a plurality of educational content sessions, the educational content sessions being directed toward helping patients achieve a health management goal;at least one feedback path from each of the patients which provides at least one input; wherein the at least one feedback path includes a biometric device, the at least one input including biometric data, which includes a triggering event, acquired by the biometric device and wirelessly communicated to one or more processors from the biometric device; the one or more processors being at a patient site for each patient and programmed to: monitor for critical events based on user input and/or biometric data received from the patients;automatically select a plurality of the content sessions and a flow of the selected educational content sessions for each patient based on the patient profile, the input from the corresponding patient, and on content flow rules, the selected educational content sessions for at least one of the patients including critical event content selected in response to detecting a critical event, and the selected for at least one of the patients including a previously selected educational content session in response to the input from the corresponding patient; and,communicate the selected educational content sessions into a user interface associated with the corresponding patient;a display device at each user interface on which the selected educational content sessions are presented to the correspondent patient. 2. The health management system as set forth in claim 1, further including: a survey server which generates a reflexive survey based on an item of interest of the triggering event and in response to the triggering event, which survey is sent to a corresponding patient. 3. The health management system as set forth in claim 2, wherein the survey includes: a survey, quiz, test, or questionnaire including at least one question presented on the display device, the at least one input including a patient response via an input device. 4. The health management system as set forth in claim 2, wherein the triggering event includes: a vital sign value measured by the biometric sensor beyond a predetermined threshold;a vital sign value measured by the biometric sensor which matches a preselected criteria; anda vital sign value measured by the biometric sensor beyond a dynamic threshold based on a prior measurement of the vital sign. 5. The health management system as set forth in claim 1, wherein the content rules include a rule calling for: displaying a remedial session in response to a score on a test or survey indicative of a lack of comprehension;displaying a behavior reinforcing message in response to reaching a milepost along a self-improvement program; anddisplaying a motivational session responsive to a lack of progress along the self-improvement program. 6. A health management system including: an educational server communicating with a plurality of patients, the educational server storing at least: a plurality of content sessions directed toward achieving a health management goal, anda plurality of patient profiles, each corresponding to a respective patient;the educational server further including a content flow engine configured to control presentation of content sessions to each patient based on at least one feedback input from the patient and on content flow rules;a plurality of biometric devices, the at least one feedback input from the patient being provided by at least one of the plurality of biometric devices which is monitoring the patient;a survey server which generates a reflexive survey in response to a triggering event included in biometric data received from the plurality of biometric devices, the survey based on an item of interest of the triggering event; anda measurement server which monitors for the triggering event from at least one of the biometric devices and a manual patient input, the measurement server causing the content flow engine to select the content session in accordance with the triggering event and the patient profile of the corresponding patient. 7. The health management system as set forth in claim 6, wherein the triggering event includes: a vital sign measurement value beyond a predetermined threshold;a vital sign measurement value which matches a preselected criteria; anda vital sign measurement value beyond a dynamic threshold based on a prior measurement of the vital sign. 8. The health management system as set forth in claim 6, wherein the biometric devices provides the feedback input to the measurement server. 9. The health management system as set forth in claim 6, wherein the biometric devices provide the feedback input to the measurement server automatically. 10. The health management system as set forth in claim 6, wherein at least one of the biometric devices monitor the patient continuously. 11. The health management system as set forth in claim 6, further including: a plurality of patient stations each connected with the educational server to generate and provide the feedback input electronically from at least one of the biometric devices to trigger the content flow engine to select the content session for the corresponding patient. 12. The health management system as set forth in claim 11, wherein the survey server generates unique surveys for each patient based on the manual patient input, the feedback from the biometric devices and the patient profile. 13.
