Union Biometrics Targets Construction Safety Market with Health Monitoring Service for Site Workers
Union Biometrics, a company specializing in artificial intelligence (AI) biometric recognition, is focusing on targeting the construction safety market.
On June 4, Union Biometrics announced that the company will enter the construction safety market with its construction site worker health monitoring solution, "HealthID."
HealthID is a smart healthcare solution that uses facial recognition to measure workers' biometric signals and detect signs of potential health issues. At construction sites, it enables the assessment of workers’ health status before work begins, helping to identify the risk of cerebrovascular and cardiovascular diseases, signs of high-risk groups, and the potential for safety accidents during work in advance.
Demand for health monitoring of construction site workers is rising. This is because there are many elderly workers on construction sites, and the risk of health abnormalities increases due to a combination of factors such as heat waves, cold snaps, and long working hours.
HealthID is based on non-contact biometric signal analysis technology and can measure biometric signals in about 15 seconds. By enabling measurements based on facial authentication, the reliability of on-site health monitoring has also been enhanced. The traditional blood pressure monitoring method requires direct contact with the arm, which poses hygiene management issues and takes longer measurement times.
Union Biometrics plans to expand its industrial safety solution business centered on accident prevention for workers by using HealthID to check construction site workers’ health status before work, monitor high-risk groups, and manage signs of abnormalities.
