According to Adeline Ng – the director of workplace safety and health institute at Singapore’s Ministry of Manpower – slips, trips, and falls (STF) are common workplace injuries that happen across industries.

“If there was a technology that is able to auto-detect an STF accident so that supervisors can render help promptly, that can save lives and even prevent life-altering injuries. If the technology is [also] able to detect ‘near misses’ and hazards, early intervention can be done to prevent future, actual accidents from happening,” shares Ng.

With this problem statement, Ng went to IMDA’s Open Innovation Platform and met enterprise AI solution provider Vulcan AI, which addressed her pain points through the use of wearable technology, cameras, and AI.

IMDA’s Open Innovation Platform (OIP) gives tech providers the opportunity to work with big enterprises and have their solutions adopted on a sector-wide scale, while problem owners can find tech-based solutions tailored to the issues they face.
