Abstract
The present research aims to validate and implement a mobile, unobtrusive and privacy-preserving platform for real-time ergonomic risk alert and training, enabling the design of workplace interventions tailored to the needs and fitness levels of a specific ageing workforce. For the implementation and validation of the system a BSN (Body Sensor Network) sensor suit has been developed, non-intrusive for the worker that continuously monitors wirelessly all the ergonomic parameters of the construction worker during his full working day and collects and analyses in real time the values captured by the sensors, giving both the worker and the medical or health service information about his condition and fitness during work making it possible to help and advise him for the improvement of his health both at work and in private life. Index Terms Body Sensor Network - Ergonomics assessment - Older workers - Workplace adaptation - Construction worksite.
