Detailed Description

Unhealthy habits at workspaces could lead to a lot of physical and mental exhaustion. Desk work that demands people to sit in one place, working on a desktop or a laptop for a prolonged period, could cause so much strain that it, in turn, affects their productivity. Overexertion at work without giving proper care to one’s health could end up being more counterproductive, even when the intention was otherwise. It is important to take timely breaks at regular intervals, in between work, to relax and refresh the body and mind that has been working continuously to keep you going. This project explores the possibilities of reducing health hazards from fatigue caused by unhealthy habits built specifically around desk work by giving constant nudges and visual cues that would remind people to care for their health as well as suggest how to do the same by providing relevant information on how to act upon and avoid them.
