About Kinetic 

Kinetic is on a mission to provide an Insurance offering where technology can create a safer work environment for our clients and where our broker partners can provide a unique risk mitigation strategy to their clients and prospects. Through Kinetic’s wearable technology, which sits on the wearer’s hip and alerts them when they perform a high-risk motion, we are able to help people change their behavior and prevent painful, costly injuries. Our wearable technology has been deployed to tens of thousands of industrial workers at some of the leading Fortune 500 firms, and has been proven to reduce injuries by 55%.

• Kinetic, in partnership with Nationwide, is the first of its kind MGU providing a technology-driven approach to worker safety by equipping policyholders with wearable hardware, at no additional cost, that is proven to reduce injuries and claims.
