EXOSKELETONS, SMARTWATCHES, & BIOMETRICS

Interested in using biometric wearables, smartwatches or exoskeletons to improve workers’ health and productivity? EWTS features enterprise practitioners leveraging these technologies to:

  • Track metrics influencing safety (ex. heart rate, body temp, fatigue, as well as environmental factors)
  • Alert users when: Risk levels are reached, danger zones are breached, heavy machinery is in use, nearby equipment fails
  • Send alerts in the event of a slip, trip, fall or lack of movement 
  • Teach workers to safely bend and lift (haptic feedback)
  • Improve posture and alleviate musculoskeletal strain from heavy lifting, repetitive motions, and overhead work
  • Reduce absenteeism and workers’ compensation costs
