CerebrumEdge named top-three finalist at NSC MSD Safety Innovation Challenge
DENVER, CO — September 25, 2025 — CerebrumEdge, an AI-powered ergonomics and occupational safety company, was named a top-three finalist in the MSD Solutions Lab Safety Innovation Challenge at the NSC Safety Congress & Expo 2025 in Denver. Throughout the event, the CerebrumEdge team delivered continuous live demonstrations of ErgoEdge at Central Booth, engaging with EHS leaders, safety practitioners, and technology partners.
Challenge overview
This year’s challenge highlighted solutions addressing risk factors such as repetitive motion, awkward posture, and overexertion. Following a competitive evaluation, 10 semifinalists were showcased in the Safety Technology Pavilion; the top three finalists — CerebrumEdge, Amp Health, and MākuSafe — pitched on the main stage during the Closing Keynote.
A comprehensive AI ergonomics platform
ErgoEdge transforms workplace video into objective posture analytics, standardized risk scoring, and practical corrective actions. The platform is built to be comprehensive and configurable:
- Supports open and custom ergonomics standards (e.g., RULA, REBA, NIOSH Lifting Equation, Liberty Mutual Tables, HSE MAC/ART; plus enterprise-specific scoring models).
- Includes psychosocial and environmental risk factors alongside biomechanical analysis for a whole-system view of MSD risk.
- Cuts analysis time by up to 90%, compressing the path from observation → risk score → action so safety decisions become faster and more data-driven.
- Integrates with enterprise EHS workflows, helping teams prioritize high-impact fixes and track improvements over time.
Leadership quote
“Being named a top-three finalist at the NSC Safety Innovation Challenge is a meaningful acknowledgment of our team’s mission: help organizations reduce MSD risk with objective, fast, and repeatable analysis,” said Hrishikesh Kumar, Co-founder & CEO of CerebrumEdge. “We’re grateful to the National Safety Council and MSD Solutions Lab for the platform—and to the many EHS leaders who visited our booth to share their use cases and results.”
Why it matters
- MSDs remain a leading driver of workplace injuries and claim costs. Organizations need scalable, evidence-based prevention.
- AI and computer vision accelerate ergonomics workflows. ErgoEdge helps teams focus time on coaching, redesign, and measurable exposure reduction.
- Holistic risk view. Incorporating psychosocial and environmental factors alongside posture and force yields better decisions and outcomes.
