Wearable technology: The new game changer in workers’ compensation

 

In this March 20, 2016, photo, Ben Hansen, chief technology officer of Motus Global, explains how five sensors placed in compression clothing measure crucial baseball player data, such as hip speed or torque on the elbow, in Bradenton, Fla. According to the Associated Press, Major League Baseball's playing rules committee approved two devices for use during games this season. Similar devices could help other workers who lift and twist on the job. (AP Photo/Tamara Lush, File)
