This panel discussion features occupational medicine physicians and industry-based safety professionals who will present workplace case studies featuring outcomes from a customizable bio-ergonomic surveillance program. The program uses wearable sensors to detect “hot spots” for worker efficiency losses and clinical algorithms to develop risk-demand profiles. Every individual who undergoes surveillance can benefit from the experience. Employers gain valuable insights on targeted interventions and the application of big data (IoT) to enterprisewide risk management solutions. You’ll learn the importance of facilitating worker acceptance of wearables, and detecting and preventing musculoskeletal disorders among older workers.
