Neurotech start-up FCLabs' first product, CoreTech, is a worker wellbeing solution which predicts and prevents human error, whatever the underlying cause. Insights and alerts delivered to the worker or their supervisor prompt action, investigation or behavioural change which reduces the occurrence of mistakes, accidents, injuries and fatalities in the workplace. They are initially focused on high risk sectors such as construction, engineering, manufacturing, oil & gas and logistics & warehousing.This project allows FCLabs to develop, trial and assess new CoreTech features which enable users to identify and address specific underlying causes of increased risk of error, earlier and more easily. These include a range of issues - sleep deprivation, mental and physical fatigue, boredom, distraction, illness, dehydration, stress, anxiety and depression, amongst others. These new tools will empower workers to take steps to self-manage their mental and physical health and encourage lasting behavioural change.This project focuses on mental wellbeing. With mental health identified as the top reason for time off work in 2021, FCLabs believe it will also be a significant cause of human error.Talking about mental health can be a struggle for many people, especially men, who make up a significant portion of the workforce in CoreTech's target sectors. By gently flagging where mental health may be having an impact on risk of error at work (and potential accident, injury or even fatality resulting), direct to the individual, we hope to break through these barriers, encouraging them to take steps to self-manage and seek support.There are two suicides in the UK construction industry every day. If we can help one person from getting to the point where taking their own life seems the only option, CoreTech, and this project, will have been a success.

Neurotech初创公司FCLabs的第一款产品CoreTech是一款员工福利解决方案，可以预测和防止人为错误，无论其根本原因是什么。向工人或其主管提供的洞察力和警报会迅速采取行动、进行调查或改变行为，从而减少工作场所的错误、事故、伤害和死亡的发生。他们最初专注于高风险行业，如建筑、工程、制造、石油和天然气以及物流和仓储。该项目使FCLabs能够开发、试验和评估新的CoreTech功能，使用户能够更早、更容易地识别和解决错误风险增加的特定潜在原因。这些问题包括一系列问题--睡眠不足、精神和身体疲劳、无聊、分心、疾病、脱水、压力、焦虑和抑郁等。这些新工具将使员工能够采取措施自我管理自己的心理和身体健康，并鼓励持久的行为改变。该项目重点关注心理健康。随着心理健康被确定为2021年休假的首要原因，FCLabs认为这也将是人类犯错的一个重要原因。对许多人来说，谈论心理健康可能是一种斗争，特别是男性，他们在CoreTech的目标行业中占劳动力的很大一部分。通过将心理健康可能对工作失误风险(以及潜在的事故、伤害甚至死亡)产生影响的地方轻轻地标记出来，直接针对个人，我们希望打破这些障碍，鼓励他们采取措施自我管理和寻求支持。英国建筑业每天都有两起自杀事件。如果我们能帮助一个人走到结束自己生命似乎是唯一选择的地步，那么CoreTech和这个项目就会取得成功。
