SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF DETERMINING NUMBER OF POSTURE CHANGES FOR A GROUP AND DETERMINING OPTIMAL OPERATING MODELS FOR INTELLIGENT AUTOMATED CHAIRS
The present disclosure is directed to a method of collecting and using data obtained from an intelligent automated chair to optimize workflow and increase a user or group's health and productivity. Sensors in the intelligent automated chair can include motion, touch, heart rate, weight, presence, sound, keystroke, etc. In addition, posture, health, and productivity data are collected and compared over periods of time along with a learning algorithm to recommend specific operating models to increase a user or group's overall posture, health, and productivity. The methods and systems are configured to recommend action steps based on usage that can include a chair training program, nutritional training program, mental health training, bonus consideration, rewards program, advancement consideration, etc. Furthermore, the metrics and recommendations can assist with addressing issues associated with absenteeism and presenteeism. Lastly, data collected can be used to create forecasting models based on productivity and health cost.
PLUMBER'S PLATFORM
The invention of the present disclosure is that of a plumber's platform for supporting the back of a plumber or the like when replacing various plumbing fixtures under a sink, such as a kitchen or bathroom sink. In certain embodiments, a plumber's platform according to the present disclosure may be formed of a hard plastic material such as via thermoplastic molding, and may be configured with fixed or adjustable supports such as legs or feet of various types. In preferred embodiments, a plumber's platform according to the present disclosure may be configured as a lid for a toolbox of appropriate dimensions and may be affixed thereto by various means. A plumber's platform may be unitary, having legs of fixed length, or may comprise extendable or adjustable legs of the same or varying lengths. In preferred embodiments, the platform may comprise one or more tool troughs and a carrying handle cutout.
Standing comfort support
An adjustable support apparatus including a base with horizontal support members is provided. The adjustable support apparatus includes a first upright support member of a first predetermined height that is supported at one end thereof on one of the horizontal support members, and an other end of the first upright support member has a first support that is generally parallel to the one of the horizontal support members. A second upright support member is supported at one end thereof on a second one of the horizontal support members, and an other end of the second upright support member has a second support that is generally parallel to the second one of the horizontal support members.
VERTICAL SELF-STANDING BACK SUPPORT DEVICE
The apparatus is to provide lateral support for a person while a person is in a standing, or predominantly vertical position. The apparatus is portable, self-standing, and may be used in various locations where a person may need lateral support. The apparatus generally consists of a vertical member connected to a support base. The apparatus functions when a person's weight acts on the standing base plate of the apparatus which off-sets a lateral force applied by a person leaning on the apparatus's vertical member whereby the vertical member in turn provides lateral support to a person.
Orthopedic cushion
An orthopedic cushion includes a head support segment and a torso support segment. The head support segment has a width between first and second ends thereof. The torso support segment is connected to the head support segment at a middle region of the head support segment halfway between the first and second ends. The torso support segment has a width between first and second lateral edges thereof. The width of the torso support segment is less than the width of the head support segment to define a first well and a second well on either side of the torso support segment adjacent the head support segment. The first well is defined along the first lateral edge, and the second well is defined along the second lateral edge.
Back support
A back support that includes a base for being mounted on a vertical structure and a plurality of projections extending outwardly from a front side of the base, laterally along a width of the base and vertically long a length of the base. An outermost extent of the projections collectively defines a vertically-oriented curvature generally corresponding to a human spinal curvature and against which an individual can engage the back for support while standing.

DEVICE AND METHODS FOR REDUCING BACK INJURY
A backsaving device having a main body sized and shaped to corresponding to the height of an under-sink cabinet, such that when the backsaving device is disposed adjacent the under-sink cabinet, a top surface of said main body is generally coplanar with a bottom interior of said under-sink cabinet. This allows a worker working under the sink to lay back on the device comfortably without the edge of the cabinet digging into the back or shoulders. A rotatably flip may be used to bridge the gap between the device and sink to prevent pinching.
