1. A system for remotely monitoring an individual, comprising:
- (a) a server,(b) a remote apparatus including (i) a processor for executing a first script to present one or more queries to the individual, (ii) a first user interface through which the individual can input one or more responses to the one or more queries and (iii) a second user interface dedicated to sending a panic signal; and
(c) a communications network connecting the remote apparatus with the server to transmit said panic signal to said server, wherein said server (i) analyzes previous interactions with said individual to determine whether a predetermined number of false alarms has been exceeded, (ii) connects said individual to an emergency health care worker if said predetermined number has not been exceeded, and (iii) connects said individual to a non-emergency worker if said predetermined number has been exceeded.

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.
