Talk Description

Imagine if every worker had access to a personal injury prevention coach, just like our sporting stars do. Instead of a one-size-fits-all training program, that coach could consider the worker's individual movement habits and their actual work role, and teach them how to prevent future injuries.

Computers are doing this right now, at scale.

Imagine if a manager and injured worker could monitor the amount of work that is actually being completed every day, as a rehabilitation program is enacted, to help prevent re-injury.

Computers are also doing this right now.  

Our team has been on an eight-year journey to translate the technology and methodology used in elite sports, into an effective, evidence-based (and sustainable) workplace solution.

Join us for a deep dive into the health science that sits behind the data, and an examination of real case studies from workplaces. Including the real costs involved in implementing a wearable sensor program.
