- solution for repetitive strain injury of the wrist

Typical RSI (Repetitive Strain Injury) caused by excessive typing while using a computer include muscle soreness, tendonitis, arthritis, and carpal tunnel syndrome. However, it is easy for computer workers to lose themselves in the process of completing their schedules and forget to take breaks. Yet taking breaks from time to time is a prerequisite for preventing RSI. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to regular rest and streching exercises while they are working, which can help them prevent the repetitive strain injury(RSI). There are exercises that can be done during breaks to relieve the fatigue that comes with being sedentary. These exercises don't need to be complicated, just activities that can be done in a small workstation space can be beneficial.

Opportunity

Through interviews, I found that 80% of people have tried to use exercise equipment to prevent or relieve the repetitive strain strain, but only 27% of them really enjoy the process of exercise. If the boring streching exercises can be gamified, it will motivate people to complete it and make it a fun experience. A training game of 1-2 minutes every 30 minutes to an hour in the wrist will be helpful.
