We are thrilled to share the success of the Intellicoach Pilot Program, delivered in partnership with Prudence Rehab and Mitolo Family Farms. This initiative, powered by Modjoul’s wearable belt technology, significantly reduced high-risk bending and twisting, helping to prevent workplace injuries.
A Targeted, Tech-Enabled Solution
Mutual Benefits funding and support enabled the exploration of this innovative approach to improve workplace health and safety (WHS) and reduce risks for EML Group customer Mitolo Family Farms (SA). The pilot program, focused on behavioural coaching and real-time feedback, yielded impressive results:
- 4,500+ hours of data collected from 25 users
- 60% reduction in high-risk bends (>60°)
- 31% reduction in total bends
- 29% reduction in bends with twisting
- Zero time-lost injuries during the pilot.
Positive Impact and Future Expansion
According to Mitolo Family Farms’ Group WHS Manager:
“The pilot was highly successful. Staff engagement was fantastic, and the results speak for themselves, with a significant reduction in both overall bends and hazardous movements. The wearable technology and haptic coaching were game changers.”
Employee feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, with many appreciating the impact that the wearable technology had on their daily work. The support from Modjoul Safety Solutions and Prudence Rehab ensured a seamless and engaging experience for all participants throughout the trial.
Encouraged by these results, Mitolo Family Farms is now exploring a wider rollout of wearable technology across its operations. This includes integrating Haloguard to enhance safety around forklifts and farm machinery, as well as leveraging analytics to optimise vehicle operations by monitoring driver behaviours like acceleration and cornering.
By embracing smart safety solutions, the Mutual Benefits Program aims to continue to drive meaningful improvements in workplace safety and efficiency.
