#37 [ÉPISODE EN ANGLAIS] Hassan ALBALAWI - WakeCap : Reinventing Safety on Construction Sites with Connected Helmets

🎙️We’re kicking off this season with a deep dive into innovation on construction sites, where technology goes hand in hand with safety and performance.

At the Built Worlds Summit in Paris, hosted by Leonard and in partnership with Contech France, Richad Mitha welcomes Hassan Albalawi, founder and CEO of WakeCap.

His bold idea? Turning the construction helmet into a hub of intelligence. A discreet sensor : no GPS, no training, no infrastructure… but 100% connected. It can track presence, optimize productivity, trigger alerts in case of falls or emergencies, and provide key data to manage a project in real time.

👉 On the agenda:

1️⃣ How a PhD in AI applied to drowsiness detection led to the creation of WakeCap.
2️⃣ 200,000 connected helmets, 150 million man-hours recorded: lessons from a worldwide rollout and the technical challenges overcome.
3️⃣ Powerful, real-life applications: automating payroll, securing evacuations, optimizing HR, reducing risks.
4️⃣ A futuristic vision: construction sites where data drives decisions, robotics reduces hardship, and safety becomes a true performance lever.

This episode was recorded during Built Worlds in partnership with Contech, as part of a 5-episode series, one of which was released in July.
