The Canaria Technologies Way

We take biometric prediction out of the research lab and into the field where we can have a direct impact on safety and a positive effect on people’s lives. There a remany different types of biometric data that may be used to create these systems. Canaria Technologies focuses on PPG readings from the ear (to allow for high levels of accuracy), which is backed up by movement (accelerometer and gyroscope) and temperature (ambient, humidty, pressure, skin and wet bulb) sensors to deliver simultaneous predictions for cognitive fatigue, heat exhaustion, asphyxiation and man down events.
Canaria Technologies are predictive biometric systems experts. We combine medical-grade wearables with machine learning AI to predict serious medical events before they happen. Our equipment is the most advanced, reliable and accurate hardware currently available on the market. The Canaria Technologies’ Puck can currently predict both cognitive fatigue and heat exhaustion incidents with future plans for ‘man down’ and asphyxiation alerts. Currently in the Australian resources sector, cognitive fatigue and heat exhaustion are the two biggest causes of accidents. Cognitive fatigue causes two thirds of all major incidents; costing companies up to $20M per incident, while heat exhaustion costs an average of $6.4k per day per worker affected. 8,000 reported incidents happened 2019.
There are many ways to enhance human safety through technology, sipchips, geo-locators, man-down alarms, IoT sensors, the list can go on and on. However the Canaria Puck is one of the first to prove it’s effectiveness across multiple disciplines. The potential for these type of devices to dramatically reduce the number of accidents and injuries in a workplace is significant, however the potential for reductions in insurance costs, productivity loss, absenteeism and asset damage is staggering and could benefit a company into the tens of millions.
