EarlyBirds Helping with the Development of Health and Safety Innovation Solutions

Aug 9, 2022

August 09, 2022 - /PressAdvantage/ - EarlyBirds, an Australian firm that has developed a global open innovation ecosystem that allows for early adopters, innovators, and subject matter experts (SMEs) to work together in speeding up technology advancement and adoption in an organisation, wants to point out that they can help companies solve employee health and safety needs with the development of innovative solutions. EarlyBirds can help all kinds of organisations in identifying innovative health and safety solutions that are most suitable for them. Organisations can discover how they are able to improve their technology adoption by becoming an early adopter. More information on this can be gleaned from https://earlybirds.io/en/early_adopter.

It is important to note that digital transformation has been changing the way safety is managed in the workplace and job sites. The use of technology can help in reducing risks and compliance costs while boosting productivity. Digital transformation can do this by streamlining and/or getting rid of processes that take too much time including administrative work, determining possible safety risks at the workplace or job site, and providing data and insights that allow contractors to make more strategic decisions for each construction project and the business as a whole.

The field of health and safety has been mostly paper based but this ischanging very fast with new developments in technology and communications. Things like drones, jobsite safety apps, wearables, training and education, onboarding staff, safe equipment and hazardous material handling, diagnostics, analytics, prevention and treatment solutions, and more have all been made better with the application of new technology.

Advancements in technology have also been helpful with regards to safety regulations and compliance. The European Commission has made the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) responsible in developing a standard for quality and reliability in health and wellness apps. And the initiative has become an international effort through ts cooperation with ISO. This standard will allow organisations to be assured of the quality and reliability of various safety tools and know how various tools compare based on key criteria.

Meanwhile, EarlyBirds can help all kinds of organisations in coming up with new and better health and safety solutions that are assured to be the best fit for their specific needs. While the advantages of digital transformation have been shown to be effective across many industries, some organisations still lag. Despite the increase in available innovative solutions, such as virtual reality, job site management platforms, digital apps, sensors, robots, drones, and more, some organisations find it confusing as to which technologies are suited for them and how to overcome the obstacles that hold back digital transformation. These obstacles can be cultural, the absence of a strategy, high upfront costs, and problems with ease of use. Organisations that become early adopters in the EarlyBirds marketplace get to work with innovators and SMEs and can get insights on the various health and safety technologies and which ones to choose.

Meanwhile, companies developing health and safety solutions can participate in the EarlyBirds open innovation ecosystmand get to interact with potential customers. Together with early adopters and SMEs, they can put their minds together and develop solutions that benefit everyone. Technology innovators can learn how to become part of EarlyBirds by visiting https://earlybirds.io/en/innovator.

The EarlyBirds open innovation ecosystem has its award winning platform with over 4 million innovators and two enabling programs. The first one is the Explorer program that can help speed up the technological innovation process for the entire organisation as a service. The Explorer program has several features, such as: a nominated SME for the business; weekly webinars to help stimulate innovation in the organisation; quarterly and monthly innovation days; a focus on specific types of innovations; and a platform enterprise license. The second program is the Challenger program, which is for organisations who prefer to focus on just one specific problem or challenge at a time. EarlyBirds also offers the Edzlity framework that can be used by organisations to help with their continuous improvement activities for the purpose of improving their organisational agility and competitive edge.

There is no shopfront, set opening hours or seating; yet queues regularly spill down the...

Is adopting Chinese fashion appropriation or appreciation? Artisans weigh in on the debate

As international fashion companies increasingly incorporate traditional Chinese design elements into their collections, accusations of cultural appropriation have flooded social media. In recent years, brands such as Zara and Adidas have been criticised for adopting Chinese tailoring features such as Mandarin collars and pankou, or frog buttons. While Zara drew backlash for mislabelling these elements as generic “fireman clasps” without acknowledging their heritage, Adidas sparked debate over...

Munich’s Oktoberfest was never on my travel bucket list.

So there I was, spending a weekend at Theresienwiese, surrounded by bewildering varieties of beer and their drinkers. The annual Oktoberfest, first held in October 1810 to celebrate a royal wedding, is about more than just beer. There are amusement rides, games, stalls selling things you...

Ever heard of lipoprotein(a)? Don’t worry if you have not. That is the name of a cardiovascular risk factor that many people are genuinely unaware of.

Lipoprotein(a), or Lp(a), is a component of the blood. “It is structured like ‘bad’ LDL cholesterol,” says Anja Vogt, a specialist in internal medicine and deputy...

Solar prints, high-shine hues, boxy looks stride down runway

Solar prints, high-shine hues, boxy looks stride down runway

Group fashion shows in the past often came across like an unspoken competition among the participating designers. The more flamboyant and outré the outfits, the better. Long-time fashion watchers might recall how veteran designer Frederick Peralta once presented an all-giraffe print collection punctuated with heavy, organic-looking jewelry. Although there were others who presented pocket collections before and after him that evening, all anyone remembers was his safari-inspired set. In group shows now, designers have become more introspective, more deliberate. They are grateful for the chance to come up with collections that distill their aesthetic and show where they’re headed. Designers who are invited by Bench to present at the biannual Bench Fashion Week (BFW) see it as an opportunity that is not to be taken lightly. For the holiday edition of BFW 2026 held Sept. 26 and 27, Cebu-based designer Edwin Ao turned street photos he had taken with his phone into a series of deconstructed looks that still managed to highlight expert tailoring. Ao is credited for being one of the designers who updated the look of the barong Tagalog by embroidering playful graffiti on it instead of resorting to the traditional designs. The long-time designer used to work with Arcy Gayatin, another Cebu designer, on clubwear looks popular during the early 2000s. He then worked with academe for close to two decades before becoming a faculty member under the product design program at the University of the Philippines Cebu. In an interview with The Manila Times prior to the show, he said he experimented with solar dyeing and rust techniques for his collection. Dubbed “Chlorophyll Hexagons: The Body in Impermanence,” it features separates with exposed stitching and unfinished hems. He embellished a vest and asymmetrically cut skirt with a mix of matte and shiny buttons that looked like paillettes from a distance. “[But] central to the collection is solar printing, where sunlight and chlorophyll become agents of imprint and change,” Ao wrote in his show notes. TernoCon 2025 Gawad Pura Escurdia award winner Bryan Peralta veered away from the structure required of the terno and came up with billowing, color-drenched pieces. There were unlined trenches and blousy pants made with parachute-like taffeta. He also played around with proportion — short, kicky outfits under those large, jewel-toned jackets. His collection, “The Golden Record,” was inspired by the 1977 NASA Voyager space probes that housed golden discs. Each disc contained recorded sounds and images of Earth that the space agency hoped would connect with extraterrestrial life. Peralta said his “boldly optimistic color palette... is a celebration of dressing up and proudly wearing your curiosities on your sleeve.” Reese de Guzman of R. Studios was inspired by Picasso’s 1957 Pigeon series and came up with a collection that ranged from oversized blazers and jackets to feathered tops and draped skirts. In her show notes, she described her “Paloma” collection as “a playful mix of colors, draped silhouettes, and unconventional textiles.” There were a few tweeds and tops with feathered fringe with many of the pieces sharing a boxy look. Even a vest that is usually worn snug was manipulated to hover just over the shoulders. “[It’s] a breath of fresh air and the idea of fleeting times,” de Guzman said in her show notes.

Longchamp names Jung So-min as its South Korean ambassador

French fashion house Longchamp has named South Korean actress Jung So-min its new local ambassador, citing her independent spirit, personal style and positive energy as qualities that reflect the brand’s values. Jung has appeared in Korean dramas across several genres, including the fantasy and historical series “Alchemy of Souls,” the romantic comedy “Love Next Door” and, more recently, “Would You Marry Me?” She also has two dramas lined up for 2027, including “The Dealer.” Beyond her acting projects, Jung regularly shares glimpses of her life and work on Instagram through @somin_jj. Longchamp noted that her personality and distinctive style have helped her connect with audiences and build a following beyond South Korea. The family-owned fashion house said Jung reflects the modernity and creativity it seeks to express through its collections. As an ambassador, she will bring her perspective to the brand and interpret its optimistic spirit in her own way. “We are thrilled to welcome Jung So-min to the Longchamp family,” said Sophie Delafontaine, Longchamp artistic director. “Longchamp is a Maison (fashion house) always on the move, looking out into the world and embracing whatever unfolds along the way. Jung So-min embodies that same spirit. She follows her instincts wherever they may lead, with elegance, curiosity and a sense of freshness.” The appointment brings Jung into Longchamp’s family of ambassadors, with the brand drawing a connection between her approach to her career and its openness to new experiences. Delafontaine pointed to the actress’s instinctive choices and curiosity as qualities shared by the fashion house. Jung, for her part, welcomed the opportunity to work with the French brand. “I am delighted and honored to join French fashion house Longchamp as its ambassador. I look forward to embarking on an exciting journey with Longchamp, a Maison that embodies authenticity, energy and the spirit of Paris,” she said.
