Pulsavi meetod töötaja töö raskusastme ja energeetilise koormatuse määramiseks ja hindamiseks
Abstract
Human-centred evaluation of technology and work
techniques requires the determination of the workload category and the
internal workload, which is the internal response of the worker to exposure
to external load factors in the work environment. The aim of this paper is
to present a method for a human-centred analysis of the work process. The
method requires the worker's physiological data, which is used to process
their wirelessly transmitted heart rate. The processed heart rate is
combined with a video feed and displayed in real time on a computer. This
allows monitoring the worker's actions and the corresponding workload
category, total energy expenditure, work-related energy expenditure, and
base metabolic rate. Using the method does not interrupt the work process
and it is possible to save the data for further analysis. The method has been
recognised as an invention and is protected with patent EE 05807 B1.
