The individual's compliance is evaluated by his or her answers to the health management script. Each health management script program can be custom made for each individual. The different monitoring means possible which the individual can use include a remotely programmable apparatus, an interactive telephone call, and a multimedia processor. The rewards include a coupon and an electronic reward credited to the individual's data card or personal account at a store.
