Ergo Coach™

With the proliferation of personal computer usage throughout every aspect of our work and recreation, many people are developing pain and numbness in their arms and hands. Repetitive Stress Injuries (RSI) affect people of all ages at work, at school and at home.

The documented cost to organizations and individuals is staggering, and there is growing worldwide attention on finding ways of promoting good computing habits and reducing RSI.

Scientific research over the last ten years has shown that taking brief micro-breaks - lasting a matter of seconds and strategically placed during the day can substantially reduce the risk of developing RSI.

SmartErgo's world leading ergonomic software ErgoCoach™ is an essential tool in the effort to prevent RSI. ErgoCoach has been specifically developed to address an identified need in the small business, SOHO and home markets.

ErgoCoach is a stand-alone software solution, which provides the high-end technology people can use to manage their time on the computer without thinking about it much.

ErgoCoach provides the ability to measure rest against work in real time and tracks keyboard and mouse activity independently. Users are alerted to take brief micro-breaks only when risk exposure exceeds configured limits, and learn to pace themselves at any intensity level while working on computers.

ErgoCoach's computer-based exercises and ergonomic education are based on real time user activity they present essential ergonomic information right on the users desktops.

Twenty award winning fully animated exercises and stretches for the eyes, neck, shoulders, back, arms, and legs lasting 35 seconds to one minute are built into ErgoCoach.
