Verve Motion unveils SafeLift Exosuit at Modex.

Verve Logic™ software and data analytics platform paves the way for game-changing enhancements in industrial worker safety when used in combination with SafeLift™ exosuit solution.Sensors embedded in the SafeLift exosuit collect 3D motion and force data while it is being used by workers throughout their day.The combination of a software platform and unique data analytics, which build off industry standard risk factors, provides ergonomic-based insights for individual worker safety metrics. This enables companies to optimize their facilities according to the unique demands of their tasks and environment.In an initial deployment of Verve Logic used in combination with the SafeLift exosuit, 97% of workers confirmed it assisted their tasks and 83% noted it enhanced lifting posture.CAMBRIDGE, Mass., March 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- In a significant stride toward shaping the future of industrial safety, Verve Motion today introduced a software and data analytics platform, Verve Logic™, seamlessly integrated into its innovative wearable robotics SafeLift™ exosuit. This enhanced product offering aims to pinpoint critical areas that pose injury risks to industrial workers as they work – those who often routinely handle lifting tasks exceeding 50,000 pounds per day – while simultaneously offering coaching to enhance both individual and group performance.Verve Motion unveils Verve Logic™: A cutting-edge software and data analytics platform integrated with the SafeLift™ wearable robotics exosuit, designed to identify injury risks and optimize performance for industrial workers who routinely handle repetitive and heavy lifting tasks.The SafeLift exosuit, the world's first soft exosuit that offers tailored, adaptive assistance customized for each worker and task, is a lightweight wearable solution that combines real-time motion sensing with robotic assistance. Its comfortable form factor, which wears like a backpack, is designed to power and protect industrial workers. The solution alleviates about 40 percent of the strain on a worker's back during a typical workday by providing assistance in parallel with their underlying muscles.A recent customer study found significant impact of the SafeLift exosuit when used in conjunction with the newly launched software, on both workplace safety and efficiency:According to the findings, 97 percent of workers reported the exosuit assisted in their daily tasks, highlighting the effectiveness of the technology in enhancing job performance;The study also revealed notable improvement in ergonomic practices among users, with 83 percent stating the exosuit solution improved their lifting posture – a key factor in reducing workplace injuries and promoting long-term health among industrial workers; and98 percent of those surveyed said they would recommend the exosuit to a coworker, indicating a high level of satisfaction and confidence in the technology's ability to transform the workplace."The SafeLift exosuit development was informed through extended testing of human subjects where we collected biomechanics data in a lab environment to understand how an individual moves, and how much back offloading the suit provides," said Conor Walsh, PhD, scientific co-founder Verve Motion and faculty member at Harvard University where he advances exosuit research through the Biodesign Lab. "It is exciting now that Verve Motion is making this same type of data available to workers and their organizations through Verve Logic so they can understand injury risk reduction and optimize the use of SafeLift for their operations.""The real-world impact of this technology stems from the exosuit's dual function: it not only protects workers from injuries by supporting their bodies during ergonomically risky lifts but also lessens the effort needed for all lifts, including those considered 'safe.' As a result, workers can return home to their families unharmed and with enough energy to enjoy their lives outside of work," said Christopher Buck, Head of Product at Verve Motion.Verve Logic - New Platform Poised to Redefine Data EmpowermentNow available as a standard feature with the SafeLift exosuit, the Verve Logic platform delivers cutting-edge safety analytics

Verve Motion, a startup building a robotic "exosuit" designed to help workers complete physically demanding tasks in factories and other like environments, today announced that it raised $20 million in a Series B round led by Cybernetix Ventures with participation from Construct Capital, Pillar VC, OUP and angel investors including Okta co-founder Frederic Kerrest.
