We
often get asked if PostureMinder is suitable for laptop users. After all,
laptop users are generally at the highest risk of developing musculoskeletal
disorders, due to the poor ergonomic design of most laptops, and the tendency
to work in less than ideal conditions
The answer is a definite yes. PostureMinder will help laptop to users make the
best of their working environment wherever they are. Moreover, just by having
the software installed, it makes sure that good posture and working habits
remain at the forefront of your mind
Those of you who use hot desks, such as in call centres, will also benefit
greatly from using PostureMinder. If you use a different desk each day,
it's particularly important to take a moment to set up your chair and
workstation before starting work to protect your health

How it works
Each time you open your laptop up and attach your webcam, you will set it up
slightly differently. Therefore, in laptop mode, PostureMinder will ask you to
calibrate posture reminders each time you start up your computer, rather than
just when it's first installed on a desktop
Calibration only takes a few seconds, and encourages you to take a moment to
think about your posture and working environment before you start working - so
it encourages you to set your computer and whatever you're sitting on as
well as possible in the circumstances
PostureMinder has been used successfully in living rooms, cafes, even on
trains! Wherever you are, it can help you to make the best of the conditions
you're working in and minimise your risk of damaging your health
