1. A system for monitoring a remotely located person, the system comprising:
- at least one electronic device, the electronic device including;
a user interface that receives a series of inputs from the person wherein the series of inputs define the operation of the electronic device;
a first sensor associated with the user interface of the electronic device to produce a first signal indicative of the series of inputs;
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 an evaluation of a cognitive ability of the person wherein the cognitive ability is based upon a change in the series of inputs received by the user interface over time.

11. 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 user interface that receives a series of inputs from the person, wherein the series of inputs define the operation of the appliance; a first sensor that monitors the series of inputs received by the user interface of the appliance and produces a first signal indicative of the series of inputs; a second sensor coupled to the workspace, the second sensor monitors an interaction between the person and the workspace, constituting the operation of the appliance, wherein the sensor produces a second signal indicative of the interaction; 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, and analyzes the combined data signal to produce an evaluation of the person'"'"'s cognitive ability based upon a predetermined relationship between the series of inputs and the interaction between the person and the workspace. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14)

15. A method of monitoring and evaluating the cognitive ability of a person, the method comprising the steps:
-
distributing at least one appliance in the domicile of the person, the at least one appliance including a user interface that receives a series of inputs from the person, and circuitry that senses the person'"'"'s interaction with the user interface and transmits user interface interaction data indicative of the person'"'"'s interaction with the user interface; receiving the interaction data with a remote monitoring station; analyzing the interaction data with the remote monitoring station to produce first statistics representative of the person'"'"'s interaction with the user interface; and creating a baseline cognitive ability for the patient based on the first statistics; receiving updated interaction data with the remote monitoring system. analyzing the updated interaction data to produce second statistics representative of the person'"'"'s interaction with the user interface; and comparing the first statistics to the second statistics to produce an evaluation of a cognitive ability of the person with respect to the baseline cognitive ability. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
