DuPont and Epicore Biosystems Collaborate to Advance Worker Safety Through Smart Wearable Technology
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. and WILMINGTON, Del., May 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Epicore Biosystems (Epicore), a digital health solutions leader developing advanced sweat-sensing wearables, and DuPont Personal Protection (DuPont) (NYSE: DD), a global leader in personal protection solutions, have agreed to work together to explore opportunities to potentially enhance worker safety and well-being. Drawing on DuPont's expertise in protective garments and Epicore's wearable hydration management technology, this collaboration can help to drive new data analytics and quantitative insights at the intersection of advanced biometrics and personal protective clothing. Rising temperatures and extreme climate conditions contribute to cognitive and physical decline, particularly in physically demanding industries. A 2024 Department of Labor Occupational Safety and Health (OSHA) Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) for Heat Injury and Illness Prevention in Outdoor and Indoor Work Settings underscores the growing regulatory attention in this area. As a result, personalized hydration and physiologically driven safety measures are critical to mitigate the risks of heat exhaustion and stress. Epicore's Connected Hydration wearable solution1 provides real-time hydration and physiological tracking. In combination with DuPont's personal protective clothing, these biometric data streams and personalized recommendations have the potential to offer unparalleled insights about worker safety under various work conditions. "We are thrilled to collaborate with DuPont to unlock new worker safety applications for our Connected Hydration platform," said Matt Marrapode, Vice President of Strategy at Epicore Biosystems. "Our overarching goal is to empower workers with personalized hydration insights, enabling them to perform at their best while minimizing risks associated with dehydration and heat exposure. This collaboration with DuPont represents an important step toward combining wearable hydration management solutions with personal protective equipment." Epicore's Connected Hydration platform1 is the first smart wearable solution in the market that helps workers proactively manage their hydration and recovery using sweat-sensing technology. Connected Hydration has been broadly deployed across North America, Asia, Australia, and the Middle East in sports, wellness, and industrial settings. By integrating Epicore's data-driven health monitoring solutions with DuPont's portfolio of personal protective clothing, the companies are uniquely positioned to explore new individualized strategies to support workers in high-risk environments requiring protective gear. "Our mission at DuPont is to protect workers and to help ensure their well-being in the workplace. Collaborating with Epicore Biosystems enables our team to explore advanced biometrics in tandem with our industry-leading personal protective solutions," said Liz Briggs, Global Marketing Manager at DuPont. The collaboration reflects DuPont and Epicore's shared commitment to advancing breakthrough innovations that address workers' hydration and safety needs. Both companies are helping to set the stage for a future whereby smart wearable technologies and personal protective equipment play a crucial and integrated role in the workplace.

Commanders QB Jayden Daniels plans to ‘eliminate some tendencies' to avoid sophomore slump
The addition of Deebo Samuel and some new offensive linemen should also help Jayden Daniels knows the risk. C.J. Stroud, Ja'Marr Chase, Dak Prescott and Robert Griffin III all won Offensive Rookie of the Year honors before Daniels claimed the award this past season. All four — and many of their less-decorated draft classmates — took a step back in various production and efficiency metrics during their second pro season. The sophomore slump in the NFL threatens perennially. It doesn't discriminate. Defensive coordinators have a season's worth of tape and an offseason of analysis to study rookies and strategize with a depth that game-planning against first-year players doesn't allow. ADVERTISEMENT Advertisement So as Daniels prepares for his second season at the Washington Commanders' helm, he's not shying away from that risk. He's embracing it. And aiming to thwart it. 'I'm sitting down and watching film and trying to eliminate some tendencies, as much as possible,' Daniels told Yahoo Sports this week over Zoom. 'Talking to the coaching staff on areas that they feel like I need to improve on and having conversations so we can all hit at full speed.' Expectations were high when the Commanders selected Daniels second overall in the 2024 NFL Draft. Daniels exceeded them. Daniels completed 69% of pass attempts for 3,568 yards and 25 touchdowns to just nine interceptions. He rushed for another 891 yards and six scores, lifting the Commanders to a 12-5 record a year after they triumphed in just four games. ADVERTISEMENT Advertisement Washington hadn't posted a winning record in eight years, and the club hadn't won a playoff game since the 2005 season. Behind Daniels and first-year (with Washington) head coach Dan Quinn, the Commanders bested the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Detroit Lions en route to the NFC championship. Along the way, the Commanders emphasized … having fun? 'The whole energy thing and positive energy — that plays a part,' Daniels said. 'Obviously the magnitude of stuff is different now but, at the end of the day, you still gotta be able to tap into that inner kid.' Daniels tapped into his inner kid in part because offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury tailored a system to his quarterback's strengths, empowering Daniels to play freely. ADVERTISEMENT Advertisement 'He wanted me to be as comfortable as possible,' said Daniels, speaking in partnership with Celsius Energy Drink's 'Hydration' powder. 'We had conversations like, 'I didn't like this' or 'I don't like that.' 'He might have argued a little bit, but ultimately he wouldn't call a play that I wasn't comfortable with.' Daniels remembers one week of game-planning during the season that included a play he didn't prefer. He and Kingsbury disputed the play's value in the game. They settled on trying it once. 'I gave him one shot, didn't like it [so] he just took it out,' Daniels said. 'You need people around you that's gonna remove the egos at the door. ADVERTISEMENT Advertisement 'Do whatever it takes to win.' This offseason, the Commanders have directed that energy toward roster improvement. Washington traded for five-time Pro Bowl left tackle Laremy Tunsil in March after trading for four-time Pro Bowl cornerback Marshon Lattimore in November. Offensive line additions came in free agency and the draft alike, with Washington spending its first-round pick on Oregon tackle Josh Conerly Jr. And while Daniels already elevated receiver Terry McLaurin from a perennial 1,000-yard receiver to a 1,000-yard receiver hauling in 13 touchdowns a year after four, he's now got a new target in house. ADVERTISEMENT Advertisement The Commanders' flurry of March activity included a trade for longtime San Francisco 49ers receiver Deebo Samuel. Daniels' expectation for Samuel? 'Obviously Deebo's a very versatile player,' Daniels said. 'He's a playmaker once you get the ball in your hand. After the catch, he does what he does. So just being able to acquire a guy like that, I'm super excited to continue to work with him. 'And we'll go from there.'
