Kinetic
Wearable devices to keep our industrial workers safe
Kinetic is a company developing wearable devices to reduce costly musculoskeletal injuries of industrial workers ($70bn/year).
These workers are often expected to lift hundreds of boxes an hour, weighing up to 70lbs. They’re industrial athletes, but receive no training or support like regular athletes do. So they get injured, a lot.
Our product can measure the risk of injury of a worker based on their lifting posture and activity, and provides feedback to the worker as well as actionable insights to the safety manager on how to reduce that risk. Pilots are large companies have shown reductions by up to 84% of high risk lifts using our product.
