At PRG, our goal is to address everything around the problem we’re trying to solve. All too often, engineers look at only the problem, leaving the other moments unaccounted for. We take a different view and address the in-between moments. We’ve found this leads to greater acceptance among wearers, meaning more use and more benefit.

We take a different view and address the in-between moments.

Predictable and Repeatable

Use a power drill for more than 10 seconds, and you’ll know how it works. More importantly, when it doesn’t work as expected, it’s easy to recreate the issue and work with it if needed. PRG has the same goal with all of its devices.

Our systems rely on simple math to determine if assistance is or isn’t needed. If it didn’t activate as expected, it’s simple to determine why and work with it. In that way, there is no extra mental gymnastics to make things work. Just put it on and go.

Different People Work Differently

Spoiler alert: Different people like different things. This is true everywhere else, why wouldn’t it be true in wearables? We aim to design with this in mind. Enjoy continuous force regardless of activity? Covered. Going into a task and won’t need assistance force? Have that too. Want the device to decide? Need a stronger force? Lighter? We cover that and more.

In summary, we know every worker is unique and design our wearables to know that too.

Designed Around the Wearer

At PRG, our design philosophy is that wearables should be as unnoticeable as possible. Paradoxically, our experience has shown that the less noticeable a device is, the more benefit is derived.

We try to get out of the way by addressing:

• Movements, allowing all possible movements, not just those assisted
• Temperature control, avoiding heat centers of the body
• Distractions, keeping a minimal interface
• Workplace requirements, for safety, compliance, etc.
