About Us
For more than a decade, we have worked shoulder to shoulder with the people who keep our industries moving, from the front line to the boardroom.

These shared experiences shaped our technologies and our purpose : to stop accidents before they happen and ensure every worker returns home safely and well.
Our innovations, built on the fusion of biometric, behavioral, and environmental intelligence, were not imagined in a lab. They were shaped together with the people they serve. Rooted in empathy and trust, we continue to transform safety by uniting human insight with predictive intelligence.
