DC CAFCFirst Claim
1. A system for remotely monitoring an individual, the system comprising:
- (a) a remote apparatus for interacting with the individual;
(b) a server system including (i) a script generator for generating a script program from a set of health related queries, the script program being executable at the remote apparatus to communicate the set of queries to the individual; and
(ii) a database for storing the the queries, the responses to the queries, and details of the individual;
wherein the remote apparatus includes;
(i) a communication component for receiving the script program from the server and for transmitting the responses to the server;
(ii) a user interface having an audio transducer for audibly notifying the individual and a display, and a processor connected to the user interface for executing the script program to cause presentation on the display of queries to the individual.

Abstract
A system for remotely monitoring an individual. The system includes a server system for generating a script program from a set of queries. The script program is executable by a remote apparatus that displays information and/or a set of queries to the individual through a user interface. Responses to the queries that are entered through the user interface together with individual identification information are sent from the remote apparatus to the server system across a communication network. The server system also includes an automated answering service for providing a series of questions from a stored set of questions for an individual at the remote apparatus to respond to, storing responses to each provided question in the series of questions and providing a service based on the individual'"'"'s response to the questions.
