Manual Task Consultant at St John of God Subiaco Hospital
“Many roles at our hospital require manual handling. Moving a patient or bed incorrectly or lifting a heavy object the wrong way can lead to ongoing issues and finding new ways to keep our workers safe and motivated to move safely is something we take pride in doing”
The challenge to have staff off the job for training has always posed as a concern and therefore they jumped at the opportunity to engage in a program that was able to be completed in-situ with instantaneous user feedback and bite size micro-learnings to help with engagement and behavioral change.
WORKER: Vibro-tactile feedback, coupled with in-app personalised data tracking and 3 minute in-situ microlearning tutorials, created a heightened awareness of activity resulting in personalised encouragement to adjust and decrease the number of hazardous movements being made.
MANAGEMENT: All data was made available to management via a web-based dashboard.
