On the 28th, Lotte Engineering & Construction announced that it has completed the development of a "non-contact biometric signal measurement technology" application to check the health status of workers, making it the first construction company to do so, and plans to apply it to all worksites in September.
This technology detects subtle color changes in the skin corresponding to the heart's pulse through facial recognition using the smartphone's built-in camera, measuring biometric signals such as pulse rate, blood pressure, fever, and oxygen saturation without the need for separate equipment. This allows workers to measure their health status in about 15 seconds and automatically records the results to help manage older workers and those with underlying health conditions.
A representative from Lotte Engineering & Construction said, "We are strengthening site inspections and safety management systems with safety as our top priority, taking various measures to ensure that it practically helps workers," adding, "We will spare no effort in providing various supports so that workers can work in a safe environment, as if they were my own family."
