Prevedil – the development of a mobile application for the prevention of workplace injury

Abstract

This research protocol is concerning the development of a mobile application for the prevention of workplace injury and work-related pathologies through the design and use of multimedia and interactive learning tools in offline.

The design idea aims at protecting the health through the winning approach of two apparently distant thematic areas, namely modern technologies and prevention. From this mixture, we are projecting to make a resolution product or, at the very least, a contributor to hinder one of the major woes of our day: accidents at work. Our challenge is to correct behavioral models and little virtuous attitudes (deriving from cultural, social, familial factors, etc.) related to work procedures, using the new technology communication systems to promote health culture and Safety in workplaces and the dissemination of good operating practices and guidelines aimed at increasing awareness, perception of risks and critical thinking.
