1. A system for providing near-real-time monitoring of worker workstations comprising:
a) a worker workstation comprising at least one component capable of generating data associated with the use or performance of the component;
b) a data-streamer configured to receive data associated with the use or performance of the component and generate a data-stream;
c) a segmenter configured to divide the data-stream into multiple segments, each segment having the same duration to within an uncertainty limit, and further configured to generate metadata for each segment;
d) a server in communication with the segmenter and the worker workstation, the server housing a database wherein the segments and metadata for each segment are stored;
e) a watcher computer in communication with the server comprising a display and an input device, wherein the watcher computer is capable of generating a request for data subject to one or more conditions; and
f) a stitcher configured to combine segments subject to the request and metadata associated with segments subject to the request into at least one stitched data-stream transmittable to the watcher computer.
