-- MSD in numbers
The workforce is getting older. The risk isn't going away.
MSDs are one of the most persistent causes of occupational ill-health. H&S teams work hard — and yet across industry after industry, the injury rate stubbornly resists improvement.

27%
of all work-related ill health are due to MSDs, the second largest category
Behind stress and anxiety, MSDs remain the most physically damaging category of occupational ill-health — year after year, across every sector with manual work.

1 in 3 workers
are already aged 50 or over and rising
Around 11 million UK workers are aged 50 or above. By 2030, that rises to more than half the workforce. Workers aged 45 and above carry significantly higher MSD rates — the same
See MOVA in action
MOVA combines wearable biomechanical sensors with AI-driven analytics to give H&S teams the objective data they need to intervene before injuries happen — not after.
How MOVA works
Assess. Mitigate. Train
Capabilities that move your H&S function from periodic observation to quantitative, evidence-led prevention.
-- Hover over the timeline to pause autoplay
The hardware
Sensors your workforce will actually wear.
-- Hover over the elements to view details.
Attaches over existing clothing — no PPE modifications needed. Elasticated straps & pockets.
Integrates to PPE
Safe for use in environments with high magnetic interference — conveyors, motors, heavy plant.
Magnetic immune
Withstands washdowns, wet floors, and water jets. Built for real industrial environments.
IP67 rated
P and running in under a minute via the mobile app. No specialist training required.
Fast setup
Covers a full shift. Expandable to 3 shifts. No charging docks required
12hr battery
Captures joint positions, movement repetition, and duration of risk exposure — not just spinal bend
Full body tracking

No cameras. Privacy protected.
MOVA measures work as it's actually done — not as it's imagined. Without cameras, without surveillance, and without compromising worker privacy.
Analytics & Reporting
From raw movement to actionable evidence.
MOVA builds a 3D biomechanical model from sensor data — accounting for joint positions, movement repetition, and cumulative risk exposure across the full shift. Two platforms, one connected picture
-- Hover over the navigation dots to pause autoplay
One platform. Impact across the whole organisation.
MOVA isn't a tool for one team. The data it generates touches every function that has a stake in workforce health, productivity, and risk.

A business case that stacks up
Every prevented injury reduces absence costs, agency cover, and claims. Positive return typically within the first year.

Indicative outcomes based on customer feedback and observed results. Every organisation is different — we work with you to model the specific return for your workforce and risk profile.
“Transport for Wales (TFW) have had the pleasure of connecting and working with Spatial Cortex using their wearable MOVA technology to obtain tangible insights into preventing and reducing Manual-handling injuries and Musculo-Skeletal Disorders (MSDs). MOVA gave reliable, consistent, and qualitative data.”
