Improving construction worker safety with wearable sensors

*This video was produced before the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, and therefore does not feature or relate to safety precautions currently being taken by state and local governments and construction companies to contain the spread of the coronavirus.*
Civil and environmental engineering professor SangHyun Lee and his University of Michigan research team are placing wearable sensors on construction workers to track on-the-job heart rate, fatigue, and stress. This data will be used to develop a model that will be able to predict and prevent potentially dangerous construction-site situations, like dehydration, anxiety, and other potential safety hazards.
