Professionals in physically demanding sectors such as healthcare and logistics are routinely exposed to heavy lifting, repetitive tasks, and awkward postures. As a result, low back pain remains one of the most common work-related complaints, impacting well-being, increasing absenteeism, lowering productivity, and contributing to early retirement.
At Orthevo, we are developing the Smart Brace — a lightweight, wearable device that provides real-time back support during strenuous work tasks. Designed to integrate seamlessly into daily work routines, the Smart Brace aims to reduce strain, prevent injury, and empower professionals to work safer and longer.
