With constant and long-term computer work, you are vulnerable to back and hand pain, headaches, eyesight deterioration, and other eye problems. Why endure this needless stress?

In order to prevent these potential problems, most ergonomic experts advise taking regular, short breaks in computer work to relax the eyes, the hands, the wrists (vulnerable to Carpal Tunnel Syndrome), shoulders, and back. But with heavy workloads and intense concentration on work, we forget to take periodic breaks, and often ignore reminders. UsefulRest is inexpensive solution to compel you, your fellow workers, children, and other loved ones to take that much-needed break. With UsefulRest software, you can program your computer to lock you out temporarily (according to a schedule you set) for periods which you set for yourselves.

UsefulRest does it all for you.

Distribution: Ergo Health can run on individual workstations (clients) or multiple users can access the program over an intranet.
Availability: Direct

About the Ergo Health TM Training Programs (from their website):
The most advanced Computer Based Training Application available.
This is the only multimedia ergonomic program written and produced by an occupational physician.
The Ergo Health TM programs arose from Dr. Kevin Byrne's extensive clinical experience treating patients afflicted with Cumulative Trauma Disorders (CTD's), such as carpal tunnel syndrome and tendonitis.

Kevin Byrne:
I am an occupational physician who grew tired of treating CTD's after-the-fact. While at AT&T, I was convinced that the great majority of these injuries and many more, unreported, were preventable. So, at CorpMed we have pooled my knowledge of preventive strategies with others' technical skills into an on-line office ergo training program that we call Ergo Health. My experience is that lectures and passive ergo work site evals don't teach well enough. We think it is most effective and efficient to use a company's network to deploy interactive, multimedia ergo training!
