In our Job of the Week column today, we’re highlighting an opening for Chief Technology Officer at Sentinel Alert of St. John’s. The successful candidate could choose to work in St. John’s or Halifax.
Sentinel produces software that can detect when a worker has had an accident or may soon have one. From the outset two years ago, the idea has been that a smartphone or mobile device can detect when someone has fallen and hit the ground, and the phone should be able to alert the company that an accident has taken place.
The company now describes its solution as being like “a FitBit for worker safer” that uses advanced mathematics to detect and prevent worker accidents in manufacturing, forestry and construction environments.
Sentinel Alert last year raised $525,000 in equity investment from the Killick Group, Venture NL and a private angel investor. In 2015, the company won the $35,000 first prize at the Women Entrepreneurs’ Bootcamp (now called the Fierce Founders Bootcamp) at Communitech in Kitchener, Ont.
