Several applications for wearable technology in workers’ compensation are now possible, including use in safety and injury prevention, post-loss claims management, disability management, and return-to-work activities. Yet there are also potential challenges, such as concerns about the security of information generated when workers wear sensors that transmit data for analytic opportunities. You’ll learn about wearable uses and concerns the technology raises, as well as hear one employer’s experience with evaluating and selecting a wearable partner, generating analytic data, and obtaining useful results.
