Healthcare professionals and employees across the UK logistics and manufacturing sectors face high physical demands during daily work activities. Pushing, pulling, and manoeuvring beds, hoists, and trolleys can exceed HSE guidelines for pushing and pulling, leading to physical strain and musculoskeletal disorders and workplace injury risks. To address these challenges, esense offers ergonomic tools that provide insight, raise awareness, and support safer working practices.
Our ergonomic tools are practical and data-driven solutions that transform workplaces into safer and healthier environments.

The Esense Impact Analysis is a comprehensive tool that combines measurement results, costs, and impact, and provides insight into workplace ergonomics and manual handling risks and risk reduction opportunities. It consists of two key components:
The esense Ergometer is a measuring device that attaches directly to the push bar of any mobile equipment. It measures push and pull forces in real work situations, delivering immediate and reliable feedback. This results in a measurement report:
Awareness is the first step toward prevention. With the Ergometer, risks become visible, enabling organisations to implement targeted ergonomic improvements before problems arise.
The Ergo App is a Windows application that connects with any esense product. It enables live measurement of push and pull forces, supporting workplace ergonomic risk assessment in real time.
How? A tablet or laptop is connected to the product, and while using this product, a live force visualisation shows peak forces. It directly shows when force above HSE guidelines is used while pushing or pulling. The results can be processed in the Esense Impact Analysis, helping organizations move from raw data to insights into workplace ergonomics and manual handling risks.

PowerTalk is a user-friendly application designed to connect with esense products. It serves as a service and workplace monitoring tool, and also gives ergonomic insights:
By turning usage data into ergonomic knowledge, PowerTalk helps organizations monitor and improve safe working practices.

Patient lifts are essential devices in healthcare, but they must be used ergonomically. The esense healthy working approach provides a structured, three-step method to move from the current work situation toward a healthy and safe working practice in line with HSE guidance.
Ergo-feedback alerts users with blinking LEDs on the hand control, when too much force is being used. This indicates how to correctly use the powered drive assistance. The direct feedback helps users work within HSE manual handling guidelines and helps reduce physical strain and manual handling risks.
What others say
"...rewarded for making only a small physical effort."
“The more gentle you control the lift, the easier it moves. You are rewarded for making only a small physical effort.”

Bart Brinkhuis
Ergonomics coach, Liberein
“…control the lift with just a finger!”
“The days we needed our full body weight to move the patient are history. Now we control the lift with just a finger.”
