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 strategically throughout the predefined setting for respectively sensing disparate events occurring within the predefined setting;

    an analytics processing portion coupled to said sensors, said analytics processing portion being programmably configured for execution to;

    collectively acquire sensing data for the disparate events 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 being situated apart from the subject and independent of subject movement;

    map a plurality of sensed data points from the acquired sensing data of the selected combination of said sensors to at least one conduct adaptively inferred for the subject from the corresponding disparate events, and based in part on the activity indirectly detected by the at least one sensor, the sensed data points being mapped according to a set of pre-established reference event patterns;

    screen each adaptively inferred conduct for excessive aberration with reference to said pre-established reference event patterns; and

    ,actuate generation of a graphic user interface displaying at least one reporting page, said reporting page containing for each adaptively inferred conduct graphic indicia determined responsive to the screening thereof; and

    ,at least one monitoring device coupled to said analytics processing portion by a wireless communications link, said monitoring device configured to render said graphic user interface for a remotely disposed monitoring user responsive to said analytics processing portion.
