The purpose of the program is to reduce the musculoskeletal injury risk of the workers—not to look over their shoulders. Wearable sensors are designed to detect potentially risky movements that may put a strain on body parts.  

The wearable sensors identify when a worker has exceeded the acceptable International Organization for Standardization threshold for a task. The worker is then notified immediately through their phone app. Risky movements and moments of strain can also be reviewed at the end of a shift. The worker owns and controls the phone app. 

The wearable sensors do not track location or work pace. Since the wearable sensors only detect risky or straining movement, they can’t tell the difference between healthy movement and dormant activities like standing still or taking a break. As a part of product onboarding, workers are informed of what information the employer can and cannot access.
