Reflex


Overview

A wearable kinetic device designed to help workers by alerting them to unsafe postures. Equipped with an inertial measurement unit (an accelerometer/gyroscope combo), the Reflex is worn on the user's belt or waistband. As they go about their daily duties in a factory, warehouse or other setting, it detects when they're performing high-risk actions such as lifting objects by bending at the back instead of at the knees. When this happens, it provides the user with a real-time alert by gently vibrating, and displaying a warning on its screen. Additionally, at the end of each shift, the Wi-Fi-equipped device transmits its data to a central computer-based dashboard, where supervisors can review each of their workers' safety habits.
