EXPERTS:

Civil and environmental engineering professor SangHyun Lee and his University of Michigan research team are placing wearable sensors on construction workers to track on-the-job heart rate, fatigue, and stress. This data will be used to develop a model that will be able to predict and prevent potentially dangerous construction-site situations, like dehydration, anxiety, and other potential safety hazards.
