About Kinetic 

The Kinetic team is on a mission to create a safer workplace and better life for the industrial workforce around the world. Kinetic has a patented wearable device, called Reflex, which sits on the wearer’s hip and alerts them when they perform a high-risk motion which could lead to an injury. Our wearable technology has been proven to reduce injuries by 55%, and has been deployed to tens of thousands of industrial workers at some of the leading Fortune 500 firms, including Pepsi, DHL and Home Depot. Starting in 2022 Kinetic partnered with Nationwide to sell Workers Compensation insurance, where policyholders get our technology for free as part of their insurance policy.

Kinetic is based in New York city, but has workers based remotely in many geographic locations. At this stage, Kinetic has approximately 50 employees across groups ranging from software development to enterprise customer success to business development for insurance. Kinetic is starting to grow quickly due to the rapid growth in both its insurance product offering and enterprise sales, with 10x growth in just 2 years.

What We Do

KINETIC creates wearable technology for the connected workforce.

KINETIC's smart wearable, REFLEX, reduces the incidence of workplace injuries. REFLEX automatically detects unsafe postures and provides workers with feedback whenever a high-risk motion occurs. Over time, workers can use REFLEX to improve their biomechanics, resulting in fewer injuries and improved well-being.

Safety managers can view risk data in the KINETIC dashboard, which can be used to make targeted changes to workplace processes that can help to reduce injury risk further.
