The Travelers Cos. Inc. has introduced virtual and on-site ergonomic assessments using artificial intelligence to reduce the risk of musculoskeletal disorders in its customers’ workforce, the insurer said Monday in a statement. 

The AI technology can analyze a smartphone video of a worker performing a task and identify movements and postures that could lead to injuries, Hartford, Connecticut-based Travelers said. The technology quantifies the risk and creates a report that Travelers can then use to develop recommendations to reduce workers’ risk of injury. 

The technology is available now to all Travelers’ customers.
