1. A system for interactively communicating with an individual, comprising:

  • a server;

    a microprocessor based unit remotely located from said server and in communication with said server;

    said microprocessor based unit being suitable for receipt of a first information from said server, said microprocessor based unit configured for receiving an entertainment program signal from a communicatively coupled entertainment program source;

    an input device in communication with said microprocessor based unit;

    said input device being suitable for receiving a response from a user of said input device to said first information and communicating said response to said microprocessor based unit; and

    a display unit coupled to said microprocessor based unit, wherein said display unit displays said first information to said user, wherein said server evaluates said response from said user and provides a second information to said user for display on said display unit, said server providing a grant access control signal to the microprocessor based unit when said evaluated response is determined by said server as being in compliance with pre-established compliance criteria for a prescribed medical treatment plan, said grant access control signal configured for causing the microprocessor based unit to allow user access to the entertainment program signal via the display unit, said server providing a restrict access control signal to the microprocessor based unit when said evaluated response is determined by said server as not being in compliance with the pre-established compliance criteria for the prescribed medical treatment plan, said restrict access control signal configured for causing the microprocessor based unit to deny user access to the entertainment program signal via the display unit.
