Aviva Partners with Cardinus to Use AI for Posture Analysis and Reduce Workplace Injury Risk
The new service uses video to assess posture and movement, identifying musculoskeletal risks that traditional inspections may overlook.
Aviva Global Risk Management Solutions has partnered with Cardinus to launch an AI-powered movement analysis service designed to help businesses identify employees’ risk of developing Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) before they lead to injury.
Aviva customers will gain access to a platform called 3MotionAi, originally developed to analyze athletic performance before being adapted for workplace ergonomics. Assessors can use video footage to examine posture, repetitive movements, exertion, and task duration, revealing risk patterns that visual assessments or standard checklists may miss.
The tool is therefore suitable for organizations, safety officers, and ergonomics professionals, particularly in workplaces involving lifting, physical exertion, or prolonged repetitive movements. However, AI only helps flag potential risks; it cannot guarantee that all injuries will be prevented, and its findings should still be considered alongside actual working conditions.
The need for such tools is reflected in data from the UK’s Health and Safety Executive, which reported that 511,000 workers were affected by work-related MSDs in 2024/25, resulting in 7.1 million lost working days. The available information says access is provided through services for Aviva customers but does not include an official URL for a direct trial.
Factories, warehouses, and service businesses in Thailand all involve physically demanding or repetitive work, making this technology potentially useful for proactive risk prevention. However, the available source does not indicate whether Thai businesses can access it directly.
