HavFree

Hand arm vibration syndrome (HAVs) is a painful and debilitating occupational disease that can be caused from over exposure to vibration from power tools

The HavFree device is an awareness tool that will notify workers when they need to take a break from power tools and potentially switch to another task to rest their hands and arms. Each worker in a factory or site will have their own pair of rechargeable devices that will compression fit onto the back of their disposable work glove. Flashing LEDs will signal over-exposure. An app and website will allow workers and employers to access their data.
