Preventure
The Preventure team has integrated decades of Sports Science research and development into their wearable technology platform, to look after blue-collar workers in the same way that elite athletes are cared for by a specialist coach. Historically, workplace injury prevention solutions have been designed without any accurate and valid data supporting them. Now, the data collected from workers wearing sensors is being used to identify which specific tasks have a high injury risk, and which individual workers have a higher injury risk throughout their shift compared to their co-workers. Preventure’s product then helps safety teams and allied health professionals to triage this data – and impact real change.
