Our Story
What would a miner’s canary look like in the era of space travel? Canaria is a medical grade wearable powered by machine learning that detects and prevents catastrophic events caused by fatigue before they occur. Fatigue causes 2/3rds of all industrial incidents. This results in a loss of human lives and damage to brand reputation. In monetary terms, this is an average loss of $6M a day per company due in lost production, at an annual cost to the Australian mining industry of $2.5B.
Canaria gathers and builds individual bio-patterns of users through its ergonomic earpiece. These patterns (heart rate, heart rate variability, blood oxygen levels, respiratory rate, head position and temperature) are then analysed by its artificial intelligence system to warn both user and supervisor up to 10 minutes before an accident happens. In addition to warning users, logistics and safety supervisors can use the unprecedented data provided to improve their rostering.
Originally designed for NASA, Canaria is being specialized for the resources sector to solve the key problem of fatigue.
