Problem
Workers in high‑risk environments such as construction sites, manufacturing plants, and healthcare facilities often lack real‑time awareness of nearby hazards, physiological stress, and equipment proximity, leading to accidents, fatigue‑related incidents, and delayed emergency response.
Solution
Gearex offers an AI‑powered smart biometric wristband that continuously monitors the wearer’s vital signs, fatigue levels, and surrounding safety zones. The device provides instant hazard alerts when the user enters exclusion zones, approaches live equipment, or is near heavy machinery, and it detects physiological anomalies such as falls, stress spikes, blood‑oxygen drops, or signs of cardiac distress. Alerts are delivered via vibration, audible alarms, and two‑way communication with a dispatcher, enabling immediate corrective action without relying on cloud connectivity. By processing data locally, the system preserves privacy, reduces latency, and extends battery life, making it suitable for mission‑critical scenarios where continuous connectivity cannot be guaranteed.
Target Audience
Primary customers are safety managers and operational supervisors in construction, oil & gas, manufacturing, and healthcare settings who need continuous worker monitoring and automated hazard mitigation.
Features
- Integrated biometric sensors for real‑time monitoring of heart rate, blood oxygen saturation, stress and fatigue indicators
- Hazard detection using proximity sensors that trigger alerts for exclusion zones, live equipment, and heavy machinery within 1–2 m
- Fall, slip, and drowsiness detection with automatic SOS alarm and dispatcher notification
- Two‑way voice communication between the wristband and a central dispatcher for rapid response
- Local AI processing ensures alerts are generated without cloud dependence, enhancing privacy and battery endurance
- Audible and vibration feedback to warn the wearer of imminent danger
- API for integration with existing safety management platforms and incident‑response workflows
