Musculoskeletal Disorder Prevention System
A wearable solution that detects movements that are putting workers at greater risk of MSDs to help prevent injuries and enhance workplace safety.
Features and benefits
The solution from Bodytrak offers real-time physiological monitoring with advanced features designed to prevent musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). MSDs are more than a minor inconvenience, they can be debilitating on the individual while causing several direct and indirect consequences for the organization. With multi-point wearable sensors, Bodytrak captures comprehensive data on movement and strain, providing actionable insights to reduce injury risk. The Lifting Strain Index™ feature evaluates physical exertion, enabling timely interventions before MSDs develop. By preventing injuries and improving workplace safety, Bodytrak ensures a healthier, more productive workforce.
The Lifting Strain Index™
The Lifting Strain Index™, an innovative feature of the Bodytrak smart safety solution, is engineered to prevent MSDs. This advanced tool evaluates the physical strain involved in specific tasks, providing a risk score from 0 to 10, where higher numbers indicate increased injury risk. By monitoring the cumulative score throughout an employee’s shift, especially with repetitive poor lifting techniques, the Lifting Strain Index™ enables proactive intervention to prevent serious injuries before they occur.
How does the feature work?
The solution from Bodytrak uniquely integrates advanced wearable technology that continuously monitors an individual’s responses to workplace stressors. Consisting of an earpiece and a communications pack worn on the hip, this dual-component system gathers comprehensive data on movement patterns. By capturing multi-point data, Bodytrak enables precise analysis of the strain on the body, which is essential for preventing MSDs.
