Real-time detection of fatigue, poor posture, and heat stress through AI-enabled wearable devices to enhance on-site safety and training with simple setup and seamless deployment

About

Our innovation addresses a critical challenge in horticulture—reducing injuries from physically demanding, repetitive tasks—by combining real-time monitoring with real-time intelligent intervention. We integrate wearable physiological sensors (such as accelerometers, gyroscopes and galvanic skin response sensors) with environmental data and computer vision to detect fatigue, poor posture, and heat stress as they develop during real work. By fusing rich sensor data, our edge-AI models deliver real-time, actionable insights directly to workers, promoting safer practices. The system also features AI-powered training tools that help new workers avoid injuries and master tasks more effectively. With minimal setup and streamlined sensor integration, our solution offers a scalable, cost-effective path to a safer, more efficient horticulture workforce.

Key Benefits

By adopting this innovation, horticulture businesses position themselves at the forefront of smart farming—reducing worker injuries, fatigue-related downtime, and associated compensation costs. Our solution delivers real-time insights that improve safety, compliance, and labour efficiency, while offering data-driven visibility into worker well-being and task performance. These capabilities are especially valuable as the sector faces labour shortages and increasing regulatory pressures. With a scalable and cost-effective system setup, early adopters can shape a solution tailored to real-world operations before broader rollout.

Applications

Our innovation is designed for the horticulture sector, with a focus on medium to large-scale farms that rely on manual labour for tasks such as harvesting and pruning. It is particularly valuable for operations aiming to enhance worker safety, reduce injury-related downtime, and strengthen compliance with health and safety regulations. The solution is also relevant to agritech providers, industry bodies, and farm management platforms seeking to integrate smart safety and performance tools into existing agricultural workflows.
