10105315Manual-handling injury prevention technology with AI enabled automatic risk detection, classification and intervention identification functionalitiesClosedCollaborative R&DInnovate UKMusculoskeletal Disorders(MSDs) or Manual-handling injuries accounts for roughly a 1-in-3 workplace injuries in the UK and worldwide. MSDs impact businesses on financial, productivity, compliance and legal fronts. For staff, MSDs can lead to long-term health impact and reduced productivity and Quality-of-Life(QoL). MSDs also adds pressure to the healthcare and social-support system. Conventional methods for managing MSDs have limitations and the MSD injury-rate is still high. We are developing, MOVA, a wearable sensor based, full-body ergonomic solution that empowers H&S teams to, 1.Conduct insightful MSD risk-assessments 2.Protect vulnerable staff through optional real-time alerts 3.Targeted ergonomic-training to staff, while protecting staff-privacy and overcoming the drawbacks the current methods. We are developing AI analytics that helps automatic risk detection, classification and risk-mitigation identification to help H&S team proactively prevent MSD risks. MOVA enables a digital, evidence based, scientific and proactive approach to Health & Safety, which will result in, * Reduced work-place injuries * Increased productivity * Improved legal compliance * Enhanced safety-culture * Healthier and happier workforce The above translates to, * Maximize staff-availability * Cost savings * Productivity gains * Improved operational efficiency
