Lift It Up Right: A Recommender System for Safer Lifting Postures
This paper introduces a novel, vision-based health recommender system that assesses and corrects lifting postures to prevent musculoskeletal injuries. Leveraging monocular video input, the system estimates key ergonomic parameters to compute the Lifting Index (LI) based on the Revised NIOSH Lifting Equation. When the LI exceeds a safety threshold, the system generates graphical and textual recommendations for safer postural strategies. This interpretable, real-time feedback system is designed for real-world workplace deployment without requiring wearables.
Executive Impact & Business Metrics
Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are a significant global health and economic burden. By preventing injuries through proactive posture correction, this AI-driven system can substantially reduce healthcare costs, improve worker productivity, and enhance overall workplace safety. Our system offers an innovative, scalable solution that minimizes the need for costly manual ergonomic assessments and integrates seamlessly into existing workflows.
