ErgonometriX, with the slogan "Transforming workplace safety through innovative injury-preventing technology and advanced cloud-based analytics," is a pioneering startup founded in 2014. The company is focused on revolutionizing the approach to reducing lower back injuries in the workplace. Through a combination of injury-preventing technology and advanced cloud-based analytics, ErgonometriX aims to decrease the incidence of unsafe and medically risky back movements, consequently reducing worker's compensation insurance costs.
One of ErgonometriX’s key products is the Back-Lift™, a device featuring a nine-degrees-of-freedom Inertial Measurement Unit, a microcontroller, and memory. This innovative device utilizes proprietary algorithms to selectively capture and store worker's lifting motions, which are then uploaded to the cloud for analysis. The data is processed through additional proprietary algorithms, providing individualized feedback regularly for retraining by ergonomics and safety officers. This feedback plays a crucial role in encouraging employees to discontinue risky movements and adopt proper ones.
The startup received its last investment in a Seed Round from Relevant Health on 01 October 2015, demonstrating investor confidence in ErgonometriX's potential to make a significant impact in the finance and workplace safety industries.
