We are thrilled to announce that SpatialCortex has been awarded a prestigious InnovateUK grant through the BridgeAI program, part of the UK government's initiative to boost productivity and innovation through artificial intelligence.
Revolutionizing Workplace Safety
At SpatialCortex, we are dedicated to empowering businesses with data-driven insights to protect their staff from manual-handling injuries and Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs). Our innovative MOVA technology combines wearable biomechanical sensors with AI analytics to proactively identify, mitigate, and reduce risk factors in the workplace[2].
Proven Impact and Practical Applications
With early adopters in the railway, infrastructure, and utilities sectors, SpatialCortex is making steady progress in its route to market. Initial trials have shown promising results, indicating that MOVA has the potential to reduce injuries by up to 77%
Our MOVA wearable sensors and analytics helps workplaces precisely understand ergonomic risks faced by staff in real operational environments without requiring conventional visual inspections, which further helps risk mitigations, real-time prevention, training development and design changes.
MOVA technology finds application in a range of industry sectors with manual-handling requirements, including manufacturing, logistics and transport, construction, utilities, and healthcare. This versatility underscores the broad potential impact of our innovation across diverse workplace environments.
AI-Powered Innovation
Kailash Manohara Selvan, CEO of SpatialCortex, expressed his excitement about the project: "Our AI analytics, combined with physics-based models, can uncover hidden risk factors that are difficult to interpret manually. This project allows us build unique know-how, first of its kind capability, and we are thrilled about the value it can bring to staff and Health & Safety teams in proactively reducing injury risks and Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) in workplaces"
Looking Ahead
With this support, we are poised to contribute to the UK's ambition of becoming a global AI superpower. We are excited about the possibilities this grant opens and look forward to collaborating with other innovators, businesses, and research organizations to drive forward the AI revolution in workplace safety.
Stay tuned for updates on our progress and the groundbreaking AI solutions we'll be developing with this grant. The future of workplace safety is here, and SpatialCortex is proud to be at the forefront of this exciting journey.
