Networked system for interactive communication and remote monitoring of individuals
First Claim
1. A system for remotely monitoring an individual having a high risk of developing a particular disease, comprising:
- a local device having an interface for (A) entering, authoring, selecting, or any combination thereof, a set of queries to be answered by the individual and for (B) entering, authoring, selecting, or any combination thereof, corresponding response choices for each of the queries, wherein the queries are related to the individual'"'"'s behavior, environment, lifestyle, drug compliance, drug response over time, symptoms, disease progression, or any combination thereof;
a script generator connected to the local device and configured to generate a program of instructions to be executed by a remote device, wherein the program of instructions includes display commands to display (A) the queries and (B) the corresponding response choices, wherein said remote device is configured to (A) receive input commands as responses by selecting one of said corresponding response choices to a respective one of the queries and (B) transmit said responses to a network; and
one or more databases connected to said network for storing (A) the responses received from the remote device and (B) a sub-set of gene sequence information relating to said particular disease, wherein a data analysis program is configured to analyze the responses in conjunction with the sub-set of gene sequence information.

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.
