​Consumer and medical wearable technology has been available for many years with a variety of smartwatches, activity trackers, and health monitors that track distance traveled, heartrate, sleep cycles, temperature, and many other factors.  More recently, wearable technology has found its way into the workplace to enhance worker productivity, reduce worker fatigue, and prevent injuries and fatalities.  

The speakers will provide an overview of the evolution of wearable technology in the workplace including virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), wearable sensors, data collection, and human factors issues.  They will discuss the challenges of worker acceptance, data quality, and costs as well as the remarkable improvements in workplace safety that wearable technology promises for the future. 
​
Haytham Elhawary created the wearable Kinetic Reflex device to reduce musculoskeletal injuries.  The device detects high-risk postures and motions in workers who commonly perform physical labor, provides immediate feedback and collects and analyzes data.  He will demonstrate the device, discuss the technological and behavioral underpinnings that make it so accurate and effective, provide dashboard views, and allow session attendees to test the device.
