4、rable TechnologiesPotential Opportunities and Deployment Challenges in Manufacturing and Warehousing What GAO found Certain wearable technologies(wearables)may provide some benefits to workers experiencing musculoskeletal pain or discomfort,such as back pain,but GAO found limited evidence to support
5、 wearables ability to reduce injuries.GAO examined the effects on worker safety of two of the most commonly deployed wearable technologies in manufacturing and warehousing:exoskeletons and ergonomic sensors.Ergonomic sensors are designed to detect postures or motions that could cause injury.Ergonomi
6、c sensor manufacturers have self-reported case studies with improved safety outcomes.GAO,however,found limited evidence that current ergonomic sensors improve worker safety,in part because multiple factors contribute to musculoskeletal injuries and posture measurements alone may not accurately predi
