Daily Workflow Overview

Each day of the program, workers follow a simple routine with the SoterCoach device to build safer movement habits and contribute to long-term injury prevention.

1. Start of Shift: Taking a Device

At the beginning of their workday, workers will:

• Tap "Start work shift" on the SoterCoach Hub touchscreen.
• Log in using a method defined by your organization:
  • Scan a QR code
  • Enter a login ID
  • Scan an employee badge
• Scan the QR code on the back of the selected device.
• If it's their first session, they will:
  • Choose a program (spine or shoulder), depending on company settings.
  • Attach the device correctly:
    • Spine Program → clipped to collar
    • Shoulder Program → secured on armband

Optional: Workers can adjust the device's beep volume by pressing the button until they find the desired level.

2. During Shift: Wear and Learn

• Wear the device for the entire shift.
• Respond to haptic feedback (beeps and vibrations) by adjusting posture or movement.
• On Day 1, no feedback is delivered — this establishes a baseline.
• From Day 2 onward, feedback activates and typically peaks, then reduces as the worker improves.
• After Day 3, improvement scores begin appearing in the Dashboard.

3. End of Shift: Returning the Device

At the end of their shift, workers will:

• Tap "Finish work shift" on the Hub.
• Scan the device QR code.
• Dock the device in the Hub (USB port down) to charge and sync data.
• Optionally, they can:
  • Review daily progress
  • View hazardous movements, improvement highlights, and trend insights
  • Leave feedback about their experience

Tips for Success

• Collect worker feedback during and after the program to reinforce engagement.
• Encourage reflection on progress to help sustain ergonomic improvements.
• Emphasize that fewer alerts mean improved safety and technique.
