Wearable technology may assist in reducing jockeys' injuries if integrated into their safety vests: a qualitative study

Abstract: While the term “safety vests” has been used to capture these products to reduce the potential for harm in jockeys under the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) umbrella, much of the research in this area has focused on factors typically echoing health, well-being, physiological and cognitive function, and performance of horse riders with very little work about examining how its design may reduce the severity of jockeys' injuries. Due to the recent advances in technology and wearable sensors, the author conside… Show more

“…This Australian case study highlighted that being a jockey is a distinctive and risky occupation but sports PPE like safety vests for jockeys might help to save their lives [6]. The author combined the data gathered and those detected from documents and then ordered into larger topics: the inductive data analysis was useful in producing meaning from the data and built significant theory from practice [64,65].…”

“…This allowed the author to demonstrate the importance of product standards, which generated the idea of transforming safety vests into wearable technology to bring benefits to both jockeys and related medical professionals, and the importance of design values and product standards in this field too. [6]. There is a need for this because current safety vests are still failing to provide a superior level of protection and thus, integrating the latest technology may lead to reducing jockeys' injuries and recovery time.…”
