Zenprexi™ Bio-Risk · Worker Readiness Platform

The third signal in workforce risk — and the first one insurance can underwrite.

Zenprexi™ Bio-Risk scores worker physiological readiness — the missing layer between vehicle telematics and ergonomic telemetry — turning continuous biometric signals into a readiness band that carriers can underwrite and platforms can act on in real time. The number itself is never shared with an employer, a platform, or a carrier.

How the architecture works
The void

Carriers already measure two of the three signals that determine risk.

A complete operator-state picture has three components. The industry has mature instrumentation for two of them. The third — physiological readiness during the work period — has been structurally invisible to underwriting and dispatch decisions until now.

Signal one · Vehicle behavior

Telematics

Speed, braking, cornering, lane discipline. Captured at the vehicle. Mature ecosystem; carriers have integrated this for over a decade.

What it reveals: how the vehicle is being driven.
What it cannot reveal: whether the operator should be driving.
Signal two · Body movement

Ergonomic telemetry

Posture, lift mechanics, repetitive-motion patterns. Captured by wearables and video. Established loss-control category, especially in workers’ compensation.

What it reveals: how the body is moving.
What it cannot reveal: whether the body has the capacity to keep moving safely.
Signal three · Physiological readiness

Zenprexi™ Bio-Risk

Continuous fusion of five signals — heart-rate variability, cardiovascular load, movement quality, sleep debt, and a proprietary biomathematical fatigue accumulation model — computed on the worker’s phone and resolved into a banded readiness state.

What it reveals: whether the operator is ready right now.
And critically: the confidence in that estimate, before any intervention is dispatched.
Architecture

One score answers the wrong question. Two scores answer the right one.

Every existing safety system asks: is this person likely to fail? Zenprexi™ Bio-Risk asks two questions in parallel — likelihood and certainty — and only intervenes when both clear threshold. That dual-score architecture is disclosed in U.S. Patent Application 19/866,047 and is on our roadmap. Today’s pilot delivers the readiness band, its confidence, and the data-quality state behind it.

1.  Risk Score (RS) Roadmap

A continuous likelihood estimate drawn from static and contextual factors — environmental conditions, task characteristics, time-on-task, and equipment context, among other inputs.⁴

2.  CARI™ (Contextual Adherence Reliability Index)

The readiness score itself — a continuous physiological measure computed on the worker’s phone from five signals, where a higher value means a more ready worker. The number is never shared; only the band is.⁵

3.  Graduated, confidence-gated response Roadmap

The two scores are evaluated together rather than in isolation, and a third input — the data-quality state of the underlying telemetry — governs how far the system is willing to escalate. The system produces three categories of response — from passive monitoring, to a supervisor-facing data-verification request, to a Direct Intervention PANT™ reaching the operator — calibrated so that the strongest action requires the strongest combined evidence.

The design goal is a system that escalates carefully. Low-confidence signals are verified before anything reaches the operator, and supervisor attention is reserved for events the platform is confident enough to stand behind.

Two parallel scores. One joint evaluation. Three graduated outcomes — calibrated so the strongest action requires the strongest combined evidence.
The credential

ZBR Verified™ turns the readiness state into something the workforce earns.

The readiness engine produces a subject-authorized, time-bounded credential. Workers opt in. Platforms see a banded operational signal — Ready, Caution, or Elevated. Insurance carriers see only totals for groups of five or more workers — never a worker by name, never today’s status. No employer, platform, or carrier ever sees raw biometrics or a numeric score.

Subject-authorized

The credential is voluntary and the worker can pause or withdraw sharing at any time. Changes apply within fifteen minutes.

Banded signals only

Platform partners receive Ready / Caution / Elevated readiness states, never numeric scores and never raw HRV. The banding architecture is disclosed in U.S. Application 19/866,047.

Time-bounded

Verification is recalculated through the work period — not a static record. Automatic expiry of a stale credential is on our roadmap.

Platform-neutral Roadmap

Designed so a credential earned on one partner platform travels with the worker — a credentialed workforce model, not a single-platform feature.

Privacy is the architecture

Three tiers of separation, built into the system — not bolted on.

The privacy guarantees are structural: raw readings never leave the worker’s phone, the phone sends Zenprexi only the readiness value and data-quality information needed to set the band, and organizations receive banded operational signals — never a number or continuous data. Each tier is disclosed in U.S. Application 19/866,047.

Tier 01 · Edge

Raw readings never leave the phone

Heart-rate variability, heart rate and accelerometer data are processed on the worker’s phone. Only the computed readiness value and data-quality information are transmitted.

  • Individual baseline calibration
  • On-device readiness computation
  • Opt-in by the worker
Tier 02 · Subject-authorized

The worker controls disclosure

Nothing reaches an organization without the worker’s authorization, and the worker can withdraw it at any time.

  • Shadow-mode evaluation before any live sharing
  • Federated learning with a bounded privacy budget Roadmap
  • Hash-chain audit logging Roadmap
  • Sharing changes apply within 15 minutes
Tier 03 · Carrier & platform

Banded signals only, never raw data

Platform partners receive Ready / Caution / Elevated operational signals. Neither platforms nor carriers see a numeric score or underlying biometric values.

  • Prospective firewall architecture
  • Subject-authorized disclosure
  • Carriers see group totals only (5+ workers)
  • SOC 2 Type II planned
