1. A system for indirect event-based monitoring of a subject for well-being within a predefined unattended setting, comprising:

  • a plurality of sensors disposed within the predefined setting for respectively sensing data indicative of events disparately occurring within the predefined setting;

    a record portion storing in computer readable memory a history of activity and state data corresponding to the events, the activity of the subject being defined by at least one corresponding event;

    an analytical processing engine coupled to said sensors and record portion, said analytical processing engine including a monitoring update portion programmably configured on a processor for execution to;

    collectively acquire the sensed data respectively from a selected combination of said sensors without video surveillance, wherein;

    each of said sensors in the selected combination transduces a physically measurable condition,at least one of said sensors in the selected combination indirectly detects activity of the subject, and is selected from the group consisting of;

    light sensors, energy management sensors, power use sensors, entertainment device use sensors, contact sensors, drawer opening/closing sensors, work space sensors, lighting actuation sensors, home automation sensors, glass breakage sensors, water flow sensors, moisture sensors, and pressure sensors; and

    ,each of said sensors in the selected combination is situated apart from the subject and independent of subject movement;

    selectively detect the events from the sensed data according to at least one of a plurality of predetermined detection parameters, the detected events including at least one event directly sensed by a sensor configured therefor and at least one event indirectly inferred from at least one directly sensed event;

    screen the detected events according to at least one screening parameter and selectively assign one of a plurality of response conditions for each of the detected events; and

    ,actuate generation of a graphic user interface displaying at least one reporting page for access by at least one authorized person, said reporting page containing a graphically rendered activity portrait indicating the response condition adaptively updated for at least one detected event occurring within a selectively defined time window, and based in part on the activity indirectly detected by the at least one sensor;

    at least one monitoring device coupled to said analytical processing engine, said monitoring device being configured to render said graphic user interface for a remotely disposed monitoring user responsive to said analytical processing engine.
