Applied scholarly research is how complex ergonomic risks are defined, evaluated, and mitigated through creative and innovative solutions.

BioFitt and our academic research partners (e.g., OBEL at the University of Waterloo specialize in developing and answering difficult research questions, which enable the transformation of novel solutions into tangible intellectual property.
Evidence of our innovation capabilities include the development and use of the Three-Dimensional Visual Target Acquisition System (3D-VTAS, USPTO No. 10,712,830, CIPO No. 3,033,605) to evaluate the occupational risk factors of military helicopter aircrew.

Several novel human performance metrics that were developed in conjunction with the 3D-VTAS will be used to objectively assess concussion and post-concussion patients. These metrics include: target acquisition time, error index, time to move off target (i.e., reaction time), peak velocity, and time to peak velocity.
BioFitt Ergonomics can help you advance your innovation to ensure that human performance, safety, efficiency, and productivity are considered during conceptual and prototype phases, well before costly reworks during final production stages.
