The Claims Journal reported that a new study from Conning says that wearable tech might lower workers’ comp claims. These devices can keep an eye on how workers move and check for dangers around them. They can help workers avoid risky situations or actions that might cause big injuries and expensive claims. The report, called “Wearable Technology’s Slow Acceleration to ‘Preserve the Reserve,'” lists the most used wearable devices and includes a survey of 60 top workers’ comp insurance leaders. This survey looks at how wearables are used now, how much they could be used in the future, and what problems insurers have in getting people to use them.
While technology may reduce work injuries in the future, many Idahoans work in dangerous jobs that often result in Idaho work accidents and workers’ compensation injuries.

IMEs – called Independent Medical Examinations by insurance adjusters – are often requested by Idaho workers’ compensation insurance companies to assess the extent of a claimant’s injuries. These examinations are anything but independent. While they may seem routine, it’s crucial to recognize their potential risks.
🚫 The Risks You Face:
Biased Assessments: IMEs in Idaho are generally conducted by physicians chosen and compensated by the insurance company, often leading to biased evaluations.
Limited Examination Time: IME physicians may have time constraints, compromising the thoroughness of their assessments. It is not uncommon for injured workers to report exams of 10 minutes or less.
Discrepancies with Your Treating Physician: IME reports may conflict with the diagnoses and treatment plans provided by your trusted healthcare professionals.
Exclusion of Non-Visible Injuries: IMEs may focus primarily on visible injuries, often referred to as objective evidence, potentially overlooking pain, psychological distress, or other non-visible conditions.
Impact on Compensation: A negative IME report could be used to dispute your claim or reduce the compensation you rightfully deserve.
