AB  - Lean construction has long been a constant advocate for perceiving humans as the driving force for most ventures and projects. Among the enablers of investigating the potentials and capabilities of humans are wearable sensors for collecting physiological measurements. Current research on wearable sensors in construction has not yet touched on its applicability or integration with Lean construction. Therefore, this conceptual paper “zooms into the workers’ psychology and physiology through a Lean construction lens” by exploring the potentials of employing wearable sensors in Lean construction. It aims to revamp current applications of wearable sensors by providing a comprehensive overview of the current state of wearable sensor technology and its applications in the construction industry. It also discusses how current studies on wearable sensors may be linked to Lean construction principles and how Lean concepts can further enhance and foster their potentials. The paper concludes by presenting the future possibilities and directions of wearable sensors in Lean construction and the impacts they can have on the industry.
