Extra product information
WorkPace provides a twenty minute educational introduction that gives the user knowledge about repetitive strain injury, muscle fatigue and recovery. The presentation explains how WorkPace works, and how to obtain the most benefits from the software.
Available in many languages. WorkPace measures speed and number of keystrokes/mouse clicks and adjusts break schedules to take into account natural work breaks that may occur.
The level of compliance can be adjusted to accommodate different users. Individuals with existing injuries may require a high level of enforcement to ensure rehabilitation of their injuries. The set up Wizard allows customization of all break schedules, exercises, and enforcement levels to meet the needs of different work environments and individual situations.
WorkPace allows the user to collect data on their own computer activity. This includes how much time you spend on the computer, how often you take breaks, and how many keystrokes and mouse-clicks you do. You can look at charts of these statistics to see how your computer use varies during the day, or across many months. This allows the user to make long-term changes to their computer habits to prevent injuries.
