How does it work?

RSIGuard is a powerful software tool which helps prevent and manage work-related injury. It encourages users to take responsibility for their own health by monitoring computer use.

RSIGuard will then alert you to potential problems and offer appropriate solutions.

Features

  • Enforced breaks with animated stretches and safety tips
  • Reduced mouse strain via automatic clicking
  • Ergonomic reminder messages with definable micro-breaks
  • Fully customisable – always under your control
  • Easy to install and easy to use

Testimonials

Users of RSIGuard have a healthy and happy working environment “Reuters are already benefiting on a department-wide scale. Staff see the installation of RSIGuard as evidence that their employers are listening to them and taking a proactive stance on healthier computing.”
David Cowell, Reuters

RSIGuard has been very useful in getting me to take breaks. For several years I have had chronic trouble with my neck. Frequent visits to the chiropractor resolve the problem but then it typically recurs again. Since installing RSI Guard, I have not returned to the chiropractor.”
Jane Vold, IBM

“I have found RSIGuard extremely useful in managing an existing problem – mainly the AutoClick feature and reminders to take breaks. It enables me to work without problems, whereas before I was in pain after about 5 minutes of using a normal mouse.”
Jo H, University College London
