Imaginaire

Imaginaire is a comprehensive software application that offers a unique way to take breaks from intensive computer use. As a fully animated stretch break app, it reminds users to take much-needed pauses from the keyboard while guiding them through stretches that, when done correctly, can help prevent repetitive strain injuries. Regardless of individual needs, every user can have custom settings that cater to their preferences. These include parameters such as stretch time, the number of stretches per interval, and the duration between breaks. Furthermore, users can also view keystroke and stretch usage statistics in-app.

Another feature of Imaginaire is that it allows for administrative control. Employers can establish specific settings for each employee or employee group from one centralized location. Additionally, administrators can view reports to see employee keystrokes, mouse clicks, and stretch usage statistics. The software also allows for customization of both reports and the app itself.

By offering a way to promote proper ergonomics and frequent stretch breaks, Imaginaire helps prevent Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSI). According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, businesses lose around $20 billion each year due to RSI, with each incident resulting in an average of 19 days of lost work time. Stretching has been shown to increase blood flow and flexibility in the muscles that become tight and shortened from extensive keyboard usage.

Imaginaire is available for a 30-day trial as a fully functional version. Overall, Imaginaire is an innovative and effective solution for reducing RSI, promoting proper ergonomics, and improving workplace productivity.
