The method of claim 10, wherein initiating the first task based upon one or more context items includes initiating the first task based upon one or more context items from the group including: a time of day;a day of the week;a list of completed tasks;a list of uncompleted tasks;a completion status of a particular task; anda determined location of the individual. 12. The method of claim 10, wherein initiating the first task based upon one or more context items includes initiating the first task based upon localizing the individual within a residence by using at least one fixed sensor located in the residence. 13. The method of claim 10, wherein the method includes initiating a second task having an associated number of steps to be completed based upon one or more context items. 14. The method of claim 10, wherein monitoring the performance of the first task by using at least one of the number of sensors includes using at least one portable sensor worn by the individual. 15. The method of claim 14, wherein monitoring the performance of the first task includes using the at least one portable sensor to determine whether the first task is being completed. 16. The method of claim 10, wherein initiating the first task includes prompting the individual on an interface of a mobile device. 17. The method of claim 10, wherein the method includes initiating the first task based upon integrating sensor data provided by at least one fixed sensor and at least one portable sensor. 18. The method of claim 10, wherein the method includes monitoring the performance of the first task by using integrated sensor data provided by at least one fixed sensor and at least one portable sensor. 19.
