The World’s 1st Wearable Solution to Prevent Shoulder and Back Injuries
Wearable technology is shaping the future for safe movement at work. Will you adopt, or be left behind?
No one believes in consumer-centric design for injury prevention better than Matthew Hart, founder and CEO of Soter Analytics, “Putting ourselves in the shoes of our client’s, truly understanding their problems, barriers and facilitators and engaging in empathetic listening, we are now so proud to launch our new SoterCoach solution that has been built off the back of direct customer feedback”.
What is it?
One small 2x3cm lightweight wearable device interchangeable between the upper back and the shoulder that alerts the wearer of any hazardous movements they are making via vibro-tactile and auditory biofeedback. This information is then pinged back to a personal mobile app or workplace tablet and the user works through a choice of 3 different 10-day micro-learning manual handling training programs. There is an online dashboard for management that displays discretionary aggregated or anonymous objective data providing valuable AI-driven insight for injury risk.
The original wearable solution developed by Soter to prevent back injuries has been so successful and proven itself on average reducing up to 55% of manual handling injuries across multiple industries including warehousing, manufacturing, logistics, retail, healthcare. This has been the cornerstone of which their new and improved first to market technology has grown which now includes the shoulder risk, more training programs and a completely updated app and management dashboard.
Giant Eagle, one of North America’s top food retailers, saw improvements among all categories of workers. Their long-serving ergonomics advisory team conducted a detailed review of the product and they reported that the device was accurately detecting and providing warnings for hazardous movements that have high potential to cause injury.
The Soter team takes a human-centric approach to solution. It’s their customers that drive the product potential and growth and continual feedback is highly encouraged and received with gratitude. This consumer first mentality has greatly aided in creating a one of a kind solution that is now not only the world’s first, but the most up to date easy to use and deploy wearable technology for ergonomic safety on the market.
