1. A computer implemented system for monitoring persons, the system comprising:
- an interactive voice response (IVR) system executing on one or more computer processors configured to receive audio data providing a representation of a user, the IVR system processing the user audio data to determine time and location parameters to facilitate creation of notifications;
a notification system executing on one or more processors, in communication with the IVR system;
the notification system configured to;
generate a notification in response to detecting a potential problem condition, where the potential problem condition is detected using defined expectations for the user audio data received by the IVR system, the defined expectations including at least one of;
a scheduled location from which the user audio data is expected to be received and a scheduled time frame, including frequency or time periods, for receiving the user audio data; and
generate the notification with a delay such that transmission of the notification is delayed for a period of time to allow the user additional time to cure the potential problem condition.
