1. A system for providing health information to an employee based on one more monitored health conditions, the system comprising:

  • an employee computer workstation comprising a graphical user interface (GUI), the employee computer workstation being in communication with a communications network;

    a set of health sensors located at the workstation for detecting biometric and biomechanical characteristics of the health of the employee, the set of health sensors comprising at least one of;

    a set of biometric sensors in communication with the communications network and comprising 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 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 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 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 that comprises three-dimensional images that are indicative of the body position and eye movement of the employee;

    a database in communication with the communications network and storing employee health information associated with one or more employees; and

    a computer server in communication with the communication network, 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;

    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 a health profile for the employee using the biometric sensor data and the biomechanical sensor data collected, the health profile for the employee comprising health characteristics, health conditions, health risks and health plans for the employee determined using the biometric sensor data and the biomechanical sensor data collected;

    comparing one or more of the health characteristics, the health conditions and the health risks for the employee to a corresponding predetermined threshold range for the one or more of the health characteristics, the health conditions and the health risks;

    determining, based on the comparison, that at least one of the one or more of the health characteristics, the health conditions and the health risks determined for the employee are outside of the corresponding predetermined threshold range for the one or more of the health characteristics, the health conditions and the health risks;

    updating the health information stored in the database to reflect the health profile for the employee;

    serving, to the employee computer workstation, health profile content comprising an interactive health status avatar and an interactive health status dashboard for the employee, the interactive health status avatar comprising a graphical representation of a human body comprising one or more graphical alerts displayed on the graphical representation of the human body, the graphical alerts being displayed at locations on the representation of the human body that correspond to locations of the at least one of the one or more of the health characteristics, the health conditions and the health risks determined to be outside of the corresponding threshold range for the one or more health characteristics, the health conditions and the health risks,wherein the employee computer workstation is configured to display, via the GUI, the interactive health status avatar comprising the graphical representation of a human body comprising the one or more graphical alerts displayed on the graphical representation of the human body, andwherein the employee computer workstation is configured to display, via the GUI, the interactive health status dashboard for the employee in response to selection, by the employee, of the health status avatar displayed, wherein the interactive health status dashboard comprises an interactive health test element that is user selectable to initiate a health test of the employee, andwherein the computer readable instructions are executable by the processor to further cause the computer server to perform the steps of;

    initiating, in response to receiving an indication of a selection of the interactive health test element, a health test of the employee, the health test of the employee comprising;

    collecting, via the communications network, updated biometric sensor data output by the set of biometric sensors and updated biomechanical data output by the set of biomechanical sensors;

    determining, using the updated biometric sensor data and the updated biomechanical sensor data collected, an updated health profile for the employee comprising updated health characteristics, updated health conditions, updated health risks and updated health plans for the employee that correspond to the at least one of the one or more of the health characteristics, the health conditions and the health risks for the employee determined to be outside of the corresponding predetermined threshold range; and

    generating an updated health report corresponding to the updated health profile for the employee; and

    serving, to the employee computer workstation, updated health profile content comprising the updated health report,wherein the employee computer workstation is configured to display, via the GUI, the updated health profile content.
