DC CAFCFirst Claim
1. A method of remotely managing health care of a person, comprising:
- providing a remote apparatus to said person, said remote apparatus having an audio processor and an audio interface;
providing a server having (i) a script generator for generating a script program, (ii) a data merge program for merging personal data relating to said person with said script program, and (iii) a script assignor for generating a respective pointer to associate said script program to said person;
collecting biometric information pertaining to said person via the remote apparatus;
sending the biometric information pertaining to said person from the remote apparatus to the server via a communication network;
generating said script program with the script generator at the server based on input from a health care professional associated with said person;
customizing the script program with the data merge program at the server using personal data relating to said person, wherein said script program includes (a) health information based on the collected biometric information and specific to said person, (b) a message directed to said person from said health care professional associated with said person, and (c) a program identifier, wherein said program identifier is used by said server to identify to said server the script program executed by the remote apparatus;
assigning said script program to said person at said server with said script assignor based on input from said health care professional associated with said person;
sending the script program to the remote apparatus via the communication network for interaction with said person; and
executing the script program in the remote apparatus, wherein at least a portion of the script program is used by the audio processor to communicate with said person.

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.
