Employee Health Monitoring System Using Smart Insoles

Abstract

The article describes an application of an employee health monitoring system that consists of insoles with built-in sensors and a smartphone app. The system controls employees’ static and dynamic load in a vertical position using built-in gyroscopes and accelerometers. It calculates the pressure force and time spent in static and dynamic positions and provides recommendations for changing the posture to reduce the risk of spine, and joint deceases. It is shown that the presented complex increases the safety and productivity of labor and reduces the risks of industrial injuries. Moreover, the employer gets the opportunity to evaluate the working day general pattern, analyze the time spent in a static and dynamic position, track and check worker’s location in complex environments.
