Low Back Pain Costs American Businesses >$60 Billion Annually

Construction, manufacturing, transport, distribution, and logistics industries account for >60% of worker compensation costs.

Median days of absence: 14 days, leading to production loss and reintegration costs for businesses

ErgonSense is grounded in established biomechanical principles of spinal loading and occupational ergonomics.

Our wearables are trained on lab-grade biomechanical tools:

  • Trunk kinematics (full body motion capture)

  • Load distribution (pressure insoles and ground reaction forces)

  • Physics-based modeling

  • Machine learning classification

Scientific Foundation: Biomechanics + Physics-Based Modeling

To really understand we need to go beyond just posture tracking, include kinetics (e.g., loads) and context (e.g., worker characteristics, business-specific task concerns.

Most current ergonomic tools:

  • Detect non-neutral posture

  • Count repetitions

  • Use observational scoring methods

  • Provide generalized risk reports

What began as a research project has evolved into something more. We’re proud of where we’ve been and even more excited for what’s ahead.

What sets us apart isn’t just our process—it’s the intention behind it. We truly care about the health and safety of people.
