Workers Are Safe to Work With
Harmful Vibrations Using E-Gloves
Gloves embedded with tiny sensors are being
developed by Nottingham Trent University
to help protect construction workers from
exposure to vibration.
Led by Professor Tilak Dias, of the School
of Art & Design, the technology aims to alert
wearers to when they experience vibrations
likely to cause conditions such as vibration
white finger and carpal tunnel syndrome.
“Prolonged use of power tools can result in a
variety of musculoskeletal, neurological and
vascular disorders,” said Professor Tilak Dias
