Systems, Computer Medium and Computer-Implemented Methods for Monitoring Health and Ergonomic Status of Drivers of Vehicles
First Claim
1. A system for monitoring a status of a driver of a vehicle, the system comprising:
- a set of one or more ergonomic sensors configured to be disposed in the vehicle and configured to output ergonomics data corresponding to a current body position of the driver;
an ergonomics processor configured to;
receive the ergonomics data output by the set of one or more ergonomic sensors;
process the ergonomics data to identify an adjustment that needs to be made in the body position of the driver for the driver to be positioned in an ergonomic body position; and
generate ergonomic feedback content indicative of the adjustment in the body position of the driver that needs to be made for the driver to be positioned in the ergonomic body position; and
a feedback display located in the vehicle, the feedback display being configured to display, to the driver when they are located in the vehicle, the ergonomics feedback content indicative of the adjustments in the body position of the driver that need to be made for the driver to be positioned in the ergonomic body position.

Abstract
Provided are embodiments of systems, computer medium and computer-implemented methods for monitoring a status of a driver when driving a vehicle. A system including a set of sensors configured to be disposed in the vehicle to collect driver status data. The system processing the driver status data to determine whether the driver is experiencing a health condition or crisis, and whether the driver'"'"'s body position is ergonomic. In response to a health condition, generating a health alert indicative of the health condition. In response to the driver a health crisis generating a health alert indicative of the health crisis and inhibiting operation of the vehicle. In response to the driver'"'"'s body position not being ergonomic, identifying and providing adjustments in the body position of the driver that need to be made for the driver to be positioned in an ergonomically acceptable body position.
