1. A communication system comprising:

  • at least one audio sensor for sensing at least one audio signal including patient speech during use of the communication system by a patient at a patient location, the patient having a brain-related disorder and a prescribed treatment regimen for treating at least one aspect of the brain-related disorder;

    patient identification circuitry configured to determine a presence of the patient from at least one identity signal sensed at the patient location;

    speech detection circuitry in the communication system for processing the at least one audio signal to identify at least one section of the at least one audio signal containing speech of the patient, wherein the speech detection circuitry is configured to identify the at least one section of the at least one audio signal containing speech of the patient based at least in part on the determination of the presence of the patient by the patient identification circuitry;

    speech analysis circuitry in the communication system for analyzing the at least one section of the at least one audio signal to generate speech data including data indicative of whether the patient has complied with the prescribed treatment regimen; and

    at least one transmitting device at the patient location for transmitting a speech data signal containing the speech data including data indicative of whether the patient has complied with the prescribed treatment regimen from the patient location to a receiving device at a monitoring location.
