Claim One:
1. A system to monitor an employee's health when the employee is working at a workstation, the workstation including a workstation surface located above and parallel to a floor, a computer workstation positioned on top of the workstation surface, and a chair located on the floor adjacent to the workstation surface, the chair having a seat portion and a back portion, the workstation having a test zone defined therein, the test zone being an area including the computer workstation, the workstation surface in front of the computer workstation, the chair when the chair is positioned adjacent to the workstation surface in front of the computer workstation, and the floor under the workstation surface in front of the computer workstation, the system comprising: a set of health sensors located at the workstation for detecting biometric and biomechanical characteristics of the employee's health, the health sensors comprising biometric and biomechanical sensors configured to collect health data via at least four points of contact with the employee while the employee is located in the employee workstation, a first point of contact comprising a floor mat positioned on the floor in the test zone, a second point of contact comprising a computer mouse positioned on the work surface, a third point of contact comprising one or more of the seat portion and the back portion of the chair, and a fourth point of contact comprising the eyes and head of the employee, the set of health sensors comprising: a set of biometric sensors in communication with a communications network and comprising of at least one of one or more temperature transducers, one or more force transducers, one or more pairs of conductive contacts, one or more blood pressure transducers, one or more respiration sensors, and one or more pulse oximeters, the set of biometric sensors configured to output biometric sensor data comprising of temperature data output by one or more of the temperature transducers that is indicative of a body temperature of the employee, force data output by one or more of the force transducers that is indicative of a body weight of the employee, resistance data output by one or more of the pairs of conductive contacts that is indicative of a body fat of the employee, pressure data output by one or more of the blood pressure transducers that is indicative of a blood pressure of the employee, respiration data output by the one or more respiration sensors indicative of a respiration rate of the employee, and blood condition data output by one or more of the pulse oximeters that is indicative of a blood oxygenation of the employee; and a set of biomechanical sensors in communication with the communications network and comprising of at least one of one or more temperature transducers, one or more force transducers and one or more cameras adapted to capture three-dimensional video data, the set of biomechanical sensors configured to output biomechanical sensor data comprising of temperature data output by one or more of the temperature transducers that is indicative of a body position of the employee, force data output by one or more of the force transducers that is indicative of the body position of the employee, and image data output by one or more of the cameras comprising three-dimensional images that are indicative of the body position and eye movement of the employee, the floor mat comprising at least one of the one or more temperature transducers, the one or more force transducers, and the one or more pairs of conductive contacts, the computer mouse comprising at least one of the one or more temperature transducers, the one or more blood pressure transducers, and the one or more pulse oximeters, the chair comprising at least one of the one or more temperature transducers, the one or more force transducers, and the one or more pairs of conductive contacts located in at least one of the seat portion and the back portion of the chair, and the camera being positioned to capture three-dimensional video data of the test zone; a database in communication with the communications network and storing login credentials for employees and employee health information associated with one or more of the employees; and a computer server in communication with the communication network and configured to serve, to the computer workstation for display to the employee, health profile information for the employee, the computer server comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium, an input/output (I/O) device interface and a processor, the I/O device interface connecting the computer server to the communications network, the non-transitory computer readable storage medium having a set of computer readable instructions stored thereon that are executable by the processor to cause the computer server to perform the steps of: verifying login credentials provided by the employee; collecting, via the communications network, the biometric sensor data output by the set of biometric sensors and the biomechanical data output by the set of biomechanical sensors; determining an updated health profile for the employee using the biometric sensor data and the biomechanical sensor data collected; serving the updated health profile for the employee for display to the employee via the computer workstation; and updating the health information stored in the database to reflect the updated health profile for the employee, collecting the biometric sensor data output by the set of biometric sensors and the biomechanical data output by the set of biomechanical sensors comprising the steps of: activating the set of biometric sensors and the set of biometric sensors to conduct a health test of the employee; and monitoring the set of biometric sensors and the set of biometric sensors to collect the biometric sensor data and the biomechanical sensor data; determining an updated health profile for the employee using the biometric sensor data and the biomechanical sensor data collected comprising the steps of: determining one or more of body temperature, body weight, body fat, heart rate, blood pressure, respiration rate, and blood oxygenation for the employee using the biometric sensor data collected; determining a posture analysis comprising the employees deviation from the proper alignment of one or more of the head, torso, arms, and feet when the employee is sitting in the chair, and an eye fatigue analysis comprising an indication of a level of eye fatigue based on one or more of a focal point, a blink rate, and a pupil dilation of the eye using the biomechanical sensor data collected; and determining a health plan for the employee based on one or more of the body temperature, the body weight, the body fat, the heart rate, the blood pressure, the respiration rate, the blood oxygenation, the posture analysis and the eye fatigue analysis determined for the employee; the updated employee health profile comprising one or more of the body temperature, the body weight, the body fat, the heart rate, the blood pressure, the respiration rate, the blood oxygenation, the posture analysis, the eye fatigue analysis and the health plan determined for the employee.
