How DeskActive connects health providers with office staff

DeskActive Manager Application

DeskActive Manager Application works in conjunction with DeskActive Client, allowing your health & safety team to remotely manage healthcare activity and advice programs for staff. It can be used for:

  • Healthy staff where injury prevention and general health improvement are the objectives.
  • Specific staff undergoing treatment or rehabilitation from an injury.

Note: your organization’s health & safety team could be an internal department, an external health provider, or DeskActive’s 'Health Assist' remote service.

  • Manage staff efficiently in groups, for healthy users.
  • Manage staff individually, customizing programs in detail for individuals requiring specific treatment.
  • Sort or filter activities by healthcare discipline (e.g. physiotherapy), position (e.g. seated), body parts affected, health benefits (e.g. DVT or RSI prevention) and other fields.
  • Mail-merge messages to quickly send a personalized message to multiple staff in one hit.
  • Fully control activity programs, assigning activities and activity groups, adjusting sets/reps/speed and editing instructions for individual activities.
  • Use time-saving features like 'favorite' groups, which allow health & safety professionals to design programs and then re-use them with other staff.

All this is achieved via an intuitive, easy-to-use Windows application – no special computer expertise is required.


DeskActive for Health Improvement AND Treatment

For the vast majority of staff, DeskActive works to improve health and prevent injuries, with little need for work by the health & safety team.

For staff that do have injuries, or show early indications of potential injury, DeskActive can be used by the health & safety team to assist in their recovery and accelerate their return to work. Where face-to-face treatment is required, DeskActive works to ensure recovering staff follow an appropriate training program between face-to-face visits.

Progress Monitoring

  • Both health & safety team and staff can see detailed, graphical progress indicators.
  • Your health providers can motivate your staff with encouragement messages.
  • View lists of users in summary mode, with at-a-glance performance measures allowing early detection of users with problems.

Statistics and Reporting

Your health & safety team can analyze and report on activity usage, content preferences and keyboard/mouse activity, allowing them to:

  • Quickly identify specific needs of staff. A strong preference across a group for health information concerning ‘stress reduction’, may prompt providers to introduce additional assistance in this area, e.g. seminars on stress reduction techniques.
  • Identify high-risk areas for staff, either en masse or for individuals. For example, if excessive keyboard/mouse activity is detected (without breaks) in certain staff, health providers can intervene and encourage those individuals to improve their work habits and thus prevent injury.
  • Detect health problems before they become costly and damaging injuries. For example a staff member who repeatedly skips lower-back activities will alert your health & safety team who can step in and take pre-emptive measures to address the staff member’s problem, before it becomes more serious.

These early detection measures are a huge time, money, and health saver!
