1. An activity evaluation system for use in managing an insurance-related process, comprising:
- at least one sensor configured to monitor an activity level of an individual, associated with and distinct from an insured entity;
an activity evaluation module configured to;
collect activity level-related data from the at least one sensor for use in adjusting insurance-related parameters corresponding to an insurance policy covering the insured entity, the activity level-related data being data indicative of horizontal body position, vertical body position, body movement, and one or more of frequency of movement, duration of movement and movement distance of the individual;
analyze the collected activity level-related data to determine an activity evaluation indicative of the activity level of the individual; and
output the activity evaluation; and
a communications module configured to communicate at least one of the collected activity level-related data and the activity evaluation to an insurance computer system operated by an insurance company providing the insurance policy to the insured entity for use in adjusting insurance-related parameters associated with the insurance policy.

Abstract
Systems and methods are discussed for providing sensor enhanced safety, recovery, and activity evaluation systems. Sensors that monitor user activity and behavior are worn by a user and/or placed in the user environment. Data from the sensors are processed to obtain a safety, recovery, and/or activity evaluation. Based on the evaluation, recommendations or adjustments to the terms of an insurance policy covering the user, the user'"'"'s employer, or a facility providing health care to the user to accurately reflect the risks associated with the user, employer, and/or facility.

9. An activity evaluation system for use in managing an insurance-related process, comprising:
-
at least one sensor configured to monitor an activity level of an individual, associated with and distinct from an insured entity, said sensor including a detection circuit for sensing removal of the at least one sensor by the individual; an activity evaluation module configured to; collect activity level-related data from the at least one sensor for use in adjusting insurance-related parameters corresponding to an insurance policy covering the insured entity, the activity level-related data being data indicative of horizontal body position, vertical body position, body movement, and one or more of frequency of movement, duration of movement and movement distance of the individual; analyze the collected activity level-related data to determine an activity evaluation indicative of the activity level of the individual; and output the activity evaluation; and an output device configured to provide feedback that is based at least in part on the activity evaluation; and a communications module configured to communicate at least one of the collected activity level-related data and the activity evaluation to an insurance computer system operated by an insurance company providing the insurance policy to the insured entity for use in adjusting insurance-related parameters associated with the insurance policy. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A method for evaluating activity for use in managing an insurance-related process, comprising:
-
monitoring, with at least one sensor, an activity level of an individual associated with and distinct from an insured entity; collecting, with an activity evaluation module, activity level-related data for use in adjusting insurance-related parameters corresponding to an insurance policy covering the insured entity, the activity level-related data being data indicative of horizontal body position, vertical body position, body movement, body orientation, and one or more of frequency of movement, duration of movement and movement distance of the individual, from the at least one sensor; analyzing, with the activity evaluation module, the collected activity level-related data to determine an activity evaluation indicative of the activity level of the individual; outputting, with the activity evaluation module, the activity evaluation; and communicating, with a communications module, at least one of the collected activity level-related data and the activity evaluation to an insurance computer system operated by an insurance company providing the insurance policy to the insured entity for use in adjusting insurance-related parameters associated with the insurance policy. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
