The technology allows workers to follow and track progress, complete manual handling training, and provides personal tutorials to shift safety cultures.
Tracking all significant back and shoulder movements, its wearable technology and analytics dashboard has driven a 55% reduction in manual handling injuries.
Matthew Hart, Founder and CEO at Soter Analytics, commented, “Today marks an important milestone for Soter Analytics and our mission to empower organisations to make their workplace safer. Our bespoke technology provides an end-to-end safety solution through AI and machine learning, and this fundraise shows that our investors and partners have recognised the strength of our product.
