CHAIR PAD SYSTEM AND ASSOCIATED, COMPUTER MEDIUM AND COMPUTER-IMPLEMENTED METHODS FOR MONITORING AND IMPROVING HEALTH AND PRODUCTIVITY OF EMPLOYEES
First Claim
1. A chair pad for sensing health characteristics of a user, the chair pad comprising:
- a chair pad controller;
a seat-pad configured to be disposed on a seat portion of a chair;
a back-pad configured to be disposed on a back portion of the chair; and
a set of health sensors integrated within at least one of the seat-pad and the back-pad, the set of health sensors comprising;
one or more temperature sensors configured to sense a body temperature of the user, the chair pad controller configured to transmit temperature data corresponding to the sensed body temperature to a computer workstation for use in determining the body temperature of the user;
one or more body position sensors configured to sense a body position of the user, the chair pad controller configured to transmit body position data corresponding to the sensed body position to the computer workstation for use in determining the body position of the user; and
one or more body fat sensors configured to sense body fat of the user, the chair pad controller configured to transmit body fat data corresponding to the sensed body fat to the computer workstation for use in determining the body fat of the user.

Abstract
Provided are embodiments of systems, computer medium and computer-implemented methods for sensing health characteristics of a user using a chair pad including a set of health sensors integrated therewith and including temperature sensors, body position sensors, and body fat sensors. A method for sensing health characteristics of a user including receiving, from the temperature sensors, temperature data corresponding to a sensed body temperature of the user, receiving, from the body position sensors, body position data corresponding to a sensed body position of the user, receiving, from the body fat sensors, body fat data corresponding to a sensed body fat of the user, and transmitting, to a computer workstation, health data corresponding to the temperature data, the body position data, and the body fat data for use in determining the body temperature, the body position, and the body fat of the user.
