Abstract

Embodiments of a system, computer medium, and computer-implemented method for monitoring employee health while the employee is at an employee workstation are provided. A method includes: collecting biomechanical health data indicative of a biomechanical characteristic of an employee from a plurality of biomechanical sensors located throughout an employee's workstation; and determining an employee biomechanical health profile based at least in part on the collected biomechanical health data. The employee biomechanical health profile includes the employee's biomechanical health characteristics, biomechanical health conditions, and / or biomechanical health risks. The method includes generating a wellness plan for the employee based at least in part on the biomechanical health profile, and displaying the employee biomechanical health profile and the wellness plan to the employee.
