There's now a wearable sensor that a worker wears that can track everything from ergonomic risk factors to the ambient temperature of the workspace. They can also measure ambient light, air quality, air pressure, humidity and the heat temperature index.

The field is expanding into artificial intelligence (AI) and exoskeletons too.
