You probably can't watch your child's posture all the time they spend using a computer at home.
PostureMinder is award-winning health protection software developed to help users improve their posture and adopt healthy computer habits.
With the Professional Edition already in use by major companies, a Home Edition is now available to help parents protect their children's health and improve the whole family's posture.
The software includes detailed advice on setting up your home computer environment for safe and healthy use. Once you've gone through this advice and explained good posture to your child, the software runs in the background to provide continual encouragement of good posture and computer habits.
PostureMinder is the first health protection software to provide intelligent posture reminders. That means if you use the software with a webcam, it can actually check your child's posture every few seconds and remind them when they've been sitting badly for a minute or two.
These targeted reminders produce rapid and lasting improvements in posture. However, if you don't have a webcam, PostureMinder can simply remind your child to take a moment to think about their posture every few minutes.
Posture Minder Home Edition also includes break reminders to encourage your child to take regular short breaks away from their computer. Regular breaks have been shown to be vital to protect health, and also reduce fatigue and mistakes. If they don't want to leave the computer, there are some simple video-guided stretch exercises included that they can do to stimulate blood flow and release tension.
Most importantly, PostureMinder is simple, friendly and easy to use. All settings are adjustable to suit your child's (and the rest of the family's) needs. Even the appearance is fully customisable - each member of the family can personalise the software by picking their own colour scheme and background image.
