Human Digital Shadow for Employees’ Workplace Safety and Health Monitorization
摘要
Smartwatches are being increasingly used for monitoring several health indicators, including heart rate, patterns of sleep, among others. The use of smartwatches for detecting health and safety issues during working time has been found to be effective in preventively detecting possible hazards, and also by educating workers into having a safer activity. This work proposes a platform for creating human digital shadows with information about health and well-being. The proposed platform aims to be able to track a set of health indicators of employees during their working time, create health reports and notify the employee and their hierarchy if some health issue may be happening. The work is being developed in the scope of a project in the textile and clothing (T&C) industrial sector, but the goal is to demonstrate the feasibility of monitoring employees’ well-being during their working time, at any industrial sector.
