DeskActive Client:

  • Guides clients through short sessions of stretches and exercises suited to their needs.
  • Uses realistic 3D animated trainers, male or female.
  • Provides detailed instructions, tips and benefit information.
  • Provides detailed information on progress, including speed, sets/repetitions completed and overall session progress.
  • Uses optional voice prompts to lead clients through the activity, e.g. "Stretch", "Hold".
  • Delivers health, safety and wellbeing advice within each session.
  • Keeps clients connected with your organisation’s health experts, via integrated messaging. Messages can be sent and received seeking advice on specific activities, or requesting assistance with health problems. (optional)
  • Gives the client some control (within bounds set by your activity program design), with options to skip/repeat/pause activities, or switch to harder/easier variants of an activity.
  • Allows clients to move between PCs, or easily setup new PCs without losing their settings and usage history.
  • Enables the client and your health experts to stay informed of progress, via graphical progress reports.

Session Types

Activity sessions. Complete health & wellbeing breaks performed at the desk, consisting of a brief set of stretches/exercises, followed by health, safety & environment (HSE) advice (e.g. ergonomics), and a progress update. They typically take 3-5 minutes, ideally performed 2-4 times per day.

Micro-pauses. Brief 'mini' rest breaks, typically just 1 or 2 stretches/exercises and 1 ergonomic advice entry. Typically takes 30 seconds or less, and used frequently, triggered as breaks from long stretches of keyboard/mouse activity.

Bullet-breaks. Simple text/icon based health reminders that appear periodically to remind you to think of your health and wellbeing at all times. Clients do not need to stop working, they simply fade in with a health/ergo/stretch suggestion and then fade away.

DeskActive Session Scheduling

  • Politely reminds the client when sessions are due to begin.
  • Includes a 'snooze' option to postpone the session.
  • If the client is busy the DeskActive reminder will disappear and remind them again later.
  • Calendar scheduling. Sessions can also be driven on a weekly calendar schedule, with specific time-of-day and day-of-the-week settings.

Keyboard / Mouse Monitoring

DeskActive monitors keyboard and mouse usage rates, and can start a session, micro-pause or bullet-break based on this.

Triggers can occur every time the client reaches a certain number of keystrokes / mouse-moves, or can occur if the client has been using the keyboard / mouse constantly for a prolonged period without a break.

Clients can control their activity program, within categories permitted by your team, to help achieve their health goals.

  • Clients choose stretch/exercise sessions or entire programs.
  • Clients choose health advice areas of interest.
