1. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon executable instructions that, as a result of being executed by one or more processors of a computer system, cause the computer system to at least:
obtain a set of sensor data from a belt worn by a subject, the sensor data describing a force applied to the belt;
process the sensor data to identify a set of activities performed by the subject;
generate a measure based at least in part on the set of activities;
cause the measure to be displayed;
determine, based at least in part on information obtained from the force sensor and the orientation sensor, that a lifting operation was performed by the subject;
determine, based, at least in part on information obtained from the altimeter, that the subject is working from heights; and
determine, based at least in part on information obtained from the global positioning sensor, that the subject is driving;
wherein the belt includes;
a force sensor that, indicates an amount of tension on the belt;
an orientation sensor that indicates a posture of the subject;
a global positioning sensor that tracks the location of the subject over time;
an altimeter that helps indicate the height of the subject above the grounds.
