  • High direct cost of workers',compensation injuries posing a huge concern
  • With a workforce of 70 million laborers in US, our client was driven by the focus on decreasing the overall compensation cost due to injuries that rises to an amount of $60 Billion

The Solution
  • We helped build this product from scratch, leveraging or IoT platform (Skylab) and augmented by our cloud and analytic services
  • The underlying architecture uses machine learning that relies more on model training and brings together the user journey (application) and data science
  • The wearable will capture the data in a cloud and the sensor readings are fed to machine learning to get the desired output
The Solution
The Benefit
  • The data collected provided insight about the structural drives to the insurance carrier to better price the risk
