Kinetic enhances workplace safety by providing a wearable device called Reflex, which is designed to alert workers about high-risk motions that could lead to injuries. This device is worn on the hip and helps prevent accidents before they occur, making it particularly useful for frontline workers in industries like manufacturing, logistics, and healthcare. Kinetic differentiates itself from competitors by combining hardware sales with a subscription-based software platform that offers detailed safety analytics, ensuring a steady income stream. The company's goal is to significantly reduce workplace injuries and lost workdays, ultimately improving employee well-being and lowering costs for employers.
