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.
