How One Start-Up is Strengthening Industrial Athletes
For this week's Keep Reinventing segment, brought to you by HP, we take a look at how one start-up is helping people better understand how the workforce can become more efficient. StrongArm Technologies Founder and CEO Sean Petterson explains how his company is leveraging data to improve efficiency.
Petterson says when launching this company, he was focused on human augmentation, and how it can use technology to improve how human beings work. But Petterson says StrongArm Technologies is now shifting gears to leverage data so they can make the workplace more efficient.
This data provides a risk profile of individuals, and tracks movement in real time. As a result, the technology can prevent some injuries before they happen. StrongArm Technologies has raised $5 Million in funding to date.

Two new releases, the rom-com “Regretting You” and “Springsteen — Deliver Me From Nowhere,” earned $12.85 million and $9.1 million, respectively. “Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc” is based on the manga series about a demon hunter. It's another win for Sony-owned Crunchyroll, which also released a “Demon Slayer” film last month that debuted to a record $70 million.
The Federal Aviation Administration says flights departing for Los Angeles International Airport were halted briefly due to a staffing shortage at a Southern California air traffic facility. The FAA issued a temporary ground stop at one of the world’s busiest airports on Sunday morning soon after U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy predicted that travelers would see more flights delayed as the nation’s air traffic controllers work without pay during the federal government shutdown. The hold on planes taking off for LAX lasted an hour and 45 minutes and didn't appear to cause continued problems. The FAA said staffing shortages also delayed planes headed to Washington, Chicago and Newark, New Jersey on Sunday.
