Computer-related injuries and health problems, for example Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI), Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS), back pain and eye strain, are on the rise, particularly as a result of increased laptop usage. Users are more likely to be injured while using a laptop than a desktop computer, due to the unergonomic nature of the laptop.
Computer-related injury depends more on the amount of time a user spends in a single session of computer use without a break than on the total amount of time spent over multiple sessions with breaks. Taking breaks is important in computer-related injury prevention, especially while using a laptop. The health alarm helps prevent computer-related injuries and reduce health risk by providing a break reminder to the computer user.
- Ergonomical. You don’t need to tell your computer when you start to work or take a break. The software learns your computer usage behavior and provides you a timely reminder in a user-friendly way when you overuse your computer. This is to prevent computer-related injuries and maximize productivity.
- Fully-automated. The software runs in a fully automated manner. It is to maximize convenience and minimize distraction.
- For laptop users. The software is specially designed for laptop users. Although this software is also suitable for use on desktop computers, you get the most out of it when you’re using it on a laptop.
