Abstract (EN): Agriculture work is physically demanding and the sector workers have a high incidence of musculoskeletal disorders. The shift to Agriculture 5.0 and the advancement of precision agriculture have involved the digitalization of this industry, but tend to marginalise the workers, though they are still essential to more thorough tasks that cannot be automated. In order to tackle the necessity to support the monitoring of agriculture workers, we developed quantification algorithms, incorporated in a mobile application, which calculate metrics based on the signals gathered by wearable sensors. Our proximity to the Douro region lead us to focus on metrics that could be more meaningful for viniculture, namely the quantification of trunk inclinations and shear cuts, very common in this production. The developed algorithms showed an error of 1.36 degrees for the calculus of inclination and 2.43 cuts for the prediction of cuts when tested with on-field data. These results suggest that the created system has the viability to be used by agricultures and give reliable feedback on their workers.
