Ergo Comfort focuses on improving the productivity of student users throughout the day with our mobile/web solution while being ergonomically friendly through the sensing and correction of your posture with our product and technological solution. At Platform Innovate Inc., we want to create a product that focuses on improving bad posture through an accompanying technological solution in the forms of a desktop and mobile app. It would help remotely learning students that are spending an extended period of time behind a computer screen. Our product works toward improving your ergonomics. The product senses your posture to maintain or improve your posture throughout your time in front of a computer. Accordingly, the app aims to improve productivity by considering your time worked, the number of tasks completed, and other factors. It breaks down your work and organizes it to fix and aid your time management while also considering screen time. With remote learning, many have developed numerous bad habits that are common among many. The main issue for students is poor ergonomics that worsens as students sit in a bad posture in front of the computer for long periods. There is also poor time management and aiding a bad habit of procrastination. Another is the lack of productivity through no motivation to complete tasks and the lack of organization. It also considers your screen time since students stare at the computer screen for approximately 5 hours during school. Such that the app focuses on ergonomics and organization and on productivity, motivation, ergonomics, and screen time. The pandemic truly changed the lives of billions as with people unable to visit their daily work locations due to covid-19 restrictions, people were forced to work and learn from home. One of the groups which were significantly impacted due to these unprecedented times were the youth, children, teens, and students in general who were placed at home in front of a screen for multiple hours to learn a course that may have been engaging before but failed to entertain in the pandemic. With students now being constrained to sit in a certain spot for more than 2 hours and listen to an educator, the posture and physical well-being of millions of youth have suffered. Additionally, with all tasks being done online, students are being afflicted with numerous mental health issues and social isolation. This in turn has contributed towards a reduction in productivity and efficiency levels when working. Our product and software have been constructed in order to directly combat these issues to provide students who are learning online with a more enjoyable and productive academic career. With the idea of occupancy sensors, an app/website to track school work, and provide beneficial feedback to the individual, we will be assisting students all over the world. The core logic of the idea uses seat occupancy sensors to send signals to the connected software (in the form of a website/application), which in turn sends notifications to the user regarding their posture. At Platform Innovation Inc, our goal is to create comfort and increase productivity for all our customers. Instead of hunching over and doing your work, our two products combined will allow users a more enjoyable, ergonomic, and productive experience when doing their work. Looking at a screen for too long or procrastinating doing your work is one of the top issues when it comes to online learning. Our product minimizes both of these issues and allows for the user to have proper rest and simultaneously get all their work done and not fall behind. Our health is super important and with having to sit at a desk all day our posture is bound to change leading to backaches and such. Our product allows the user to see their posture, and corrects it for them, allowing for those backaches to never come back.
