Care cost for rehabilitation and treatment of work-related injuries and disorders are steadily increasing. Developments in sensing technologies, information and communication technologies allow for the development of novel p-health solutions for accurate assessment of risk exposure enabling prompt intervention for avoiding injuries. Combining sensorized garments, wearable electronics, mobile devices, cloud computing and machine learning, the We@work project has implemented an integral solution for preventive care of workers fostering a healthy and safe working life.
