Belgian Spin-off MATE Ergonomics Uses Digital Twins to Predict Workplace Injuries

MATE Ergonomics, a KU Leuven spin-off at Corda Campus in Hasselt, launched software that creates digital twins of employees from video and sensor data to predict injury risk from heavy or repetitive work. The company claims this addresses the ~€10.5B annual cost of physical complaints in Belgium. The technology is early-stage; efficacy and adoption are unproven.
