How PostureMinder works

PostureMinder acts as your personal posture coach, helping you to improve your working habits and how you sit to prevent (or recover from) back pain and other work-related ill-health

PostureMinder provides a complete toolkit for healthy and effective computer use. Friendly posture reminders help you to gradually improve your posture over time. If you use PostureMinder with a webcam it will actually detect when you're sitting in a damaging posture, and only remind you when you do so

If you don't have a webcam connected, PostureMinder will still provide valuable reminders to think about your posture from time to time

Break and micro-break reminders* encourage you to take regular, performance-enhancing short breaks from your computer, instead of working continuously until fatigue builds up, your concentration falls and you start making mistakes

In the Professional Edition, comprehensive ergonomic workstation training and self-assessment covers all topics set out in the UK display screen equipment regulations, and more. On completion it generates a record of the training completed and any issues raised in the course of the self-assessment

If you purchase the Home Edition for yourself or your family, the software includes detailed ergonomic advice on setting up your computer or home office for safe and healthy use

Discreet video-guided stretch exercises you can do at your desk help you to relieve tension and fatigue

A hydration tool* helps you to keep track of your consumption of caffeinated drinks and water to help you improve your hydration habits for better health and concentration
