The Ergonomic Risk in Logistics: Invisible but Costly

In logistics and other physically demanding sectors, workers are constantly exposed to ergonomic risk factors.

For example, a typical warehouse employee may perform up to 50–80 high-risk movements per hour, such as improper lifting or bending. These repetitive, unergonomic motions dramatically increase the risk of injuries like back pain, muscle strain, and herniated discs.

While the theory of correct ergonomic behavior — like lifting from a squat with a straight back — is well known, it's often neglected in the fast-paced reality of daily operations.

Our Solution: The WearHealth Smart Wearable

At the heart of our solution is an intelligent wearable. Equipped with motion sensors and AI algorithms, it recognizes unergonomic movement patterns in real time.

The goal: making correct ergonomic behavior a natural reflex.

Workers typically wear the sensor for 2 to 3 months — enough time to build long-term muscle memory. After this period, the devices can be reassigned to other workers, while a yearly ergonomic check-up is recommended.

This approach shifts ergonomics from a one-time training to continuous behavioral transformation — driven by real-time data.
