in the
workplace.

What are wearable
sensors?
Wearable sensor technology enables recording
and analyzing physical, chemical, and
electrophysiological parameters in real-time
and in a non-invasive way.

In other words, it’s a effective way of tracking

ones heath and/or other activities,while not
being a nuisance.
It can be in the form of fitness trackers,AI
wristbands,vr headsets etc.
Effects at workplaces
Wearable sensor equipments contributes towards the increase
in productivity of Workers and employees as it mainly:
● Allows effective communication
● Tracks heath details
● Ensures safety and overall well-being
 Communication
These devices can allow the much needed
communication between employees for data
handling,deadlines of tasks and other factors.

For examples:
In a company in Ireland, there are armbands
used for tracking the amount of goods carried
by the employees along with the time taken for
completion.
This enables quick and accurate processing of
data and thus increasing productivity.
 Health
Over time the workplace has bought on a huge
amount of stress onto the employees.There has
been many studies that show a decline in
mental health of workers as a result of long
working hours and other factors.

Wearable sensors such as smartwatches,

monitor everything including heart rate to sleep
patterns help address this issue.
Furthermore, it helps to organize and declutter
important tasks and assignments further
reducing stress.
 Safety & well-being
There are many jobs that present various risks
that could seriously affects one safety.As a
solution,there are many specialised sensors
that observes and alerts any potential risk.
For example:
Soccer players have a sensor chip integrated on
their helmet that measures the force of impact
of a fall or wound probably preventing deadly
brain damages and other injuries.
Result
After the evolution of AI, many
companies and businesses are
promoting the use of wearable
sensors.As a result, the workers are
able to balance their priorities and
perform better. Its safe to say that
the introduction of these devices
has made a noticeable difference in
the society.
