it was evident there were no existing reliable solutions on the market to prevent occupational hazards that stem from extreme temperatures and fatigue. Enter Bodytrak, a wearable device with the main purpose of capturing data to prevent incidents and save lives in the workplace.
“RESEARCH REVEALS APPROXIMATELY 50% OF RESPONDENTS NOW USE WEARABLES, DIGITAL ASSISTANTS OR SMART DEVICES.”
The data is captured to ensure that alerts are triggered when an employee is at risk and immediate assistance can be provided when thresholds are exceeded. Think of a colleague who is a person of few words – like them, Bodytrak does its job in the background and only comes to the forefront and provides a ‘nudge’ when a user is at risk. This could be an alert to indicate the need for a break or to remove themselves from a situation to cool down before they become high-risk. The great thing is, Bodytrak only kicks in when a user is in danger; otherwise, users forget the device is even present. By default, the Bodytrak solution does not report any personal information; the client has the option to use non-personal identifiers for usernames, as opposed to the users’ actual name.
All data captured by the Bodytrak solution is secure and protected using industry standard protocols and treated with the utmost sensitivity, and is not shared or utilised by any third parties such as insurance companies. Bodytrak is an additional safety net implemented to complement and enhance existing safety protocols within an organisation. Only people who have authorised access within the organisation will be able to view the information. It’s important to emphasise that Bodytrak primarily serves as a safety device and a user’s reliable

buddy which only speaks up when risks are presented to the individual. This solution does not obtain any information that can be used to help organisations determine employment status.
WHAT KIND OF DATA IS BODYTRAK
COLLECTING? Bodytrak monitors and focuses on capturing physiological data to protect users from incidents caused by heat stress, fatigue and noise exposure. The metrics captured below are used to provide helpful insights to determine workplace hazards such as physiological strain, fatigue and man down:
● Core body temperature. ● Heart rate. ● Heart rate variability. ● Motion. ● Noise exposure levels.
● Location-based data, in order to provide intervention and immediate assistance when required.
CONCLUSION As we embark on this new era of wearable technology
that intersects with safety solutions, acknowledging and addressing privacy concerns is paramount. By navigating this delicate balance, we can harness the transformative potential of wearables while safeguarding user privacy and enhancing safety across industries. Bodytrak, the first non-invasive in-ear solution of its kind on the market, uses real-time actionable data to ensure each team member returns home after each shift. Its mission is to disrupt health and safety in the workplace by working with customers and regulators to define new standards and reduce the number of incidents and fatalities across the globe. The data collected is used to keep the users safe and intercept when risks are present rather than interfering with any tasks at hand.
