1. A system for monitoring a remotely located person, the system comprising:
- at least one electronic device, the electronic device including;
a first sensor associated with the electronic device to produce a first signal indicative of an interaction between the person and the electronic device;
a processor associated with the electronic device and connected to the first sensor to receive the first signal from the first sensor and produce data being indicative of the person'"'"'s use of the electronic device; and
a transmitter connected to the processor to receive the data from the processor and transmit a data signal encoded with the data;
a remote monitoring station that receives the data from the at least one electronic device, stores the data and analyzes the data to produce a health evaluation.

12. A system for monitoring and evaluating the cognitive ability of a remotely located person, the system comprising:
-
a plurality of appliances distributed throughout the domicile of a person, each appliance including; a first sensor that monitors the person'"'"'s interactions with a user interface of the appliance and produces a first signal indicative of these interactions; a second sensor that monitors the person'"'"'s interactions with the operation of the appliance and produces a second signal indicative of these interactions; a first processor that receives the first and second signals and produces data indicative of the person'"'"'s interactions with the appliance; and a transmitter that receives the data from the first processor and transmits a data signal encoded with the data; a communications relay that receives the data signals from each of the appliances and transmits a combined data signal comprising the data from each of the appliances; and a remote monitoring station that receives the combined data signal, wherein a second processor of the remote monitoring station analyzes the combined data signal to produce an evaluation of the person'"'"'s cognitive ability. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14)
