There are a variety of 'ergonomic software solutions' on the market today, however, only Magnitude’s solution stands alone as the legitimate original solution using our inventions in which rest is measured against work in real time.  See Caveat Emptor - Computer Pacing Technology

If you're reviewing a software package that seems to provide solutions similar to our proven inventions and you do not see the unique Anti-Injury shield, you can do a further test to determine if it is an unauthorized unlicensed implementation of these proven inventions:

1. Visit a copy of our patent at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office website (see link above) and print it out.
2. Compare the suspect software to our patent.
3. If you become aware of a company which you believe is a patent infringer, please contact us immediately.

Why should this be important to you?

Patent infringement is a serious worldwide problem similar to software piracy.  No one wants to purchase an illegal product.  Furthermore, illegal products erode the ability of legitimate companies to invest in research and development. This eventually diminishes innovation, product diversity and growth, leaving the consumer as the ultimate victim.

Aren't there many break-software products?

Any other legitimate ergonomic software package on the market is basically a one-dimensional computer usage egg timer or odometer. They tell you how far you've traveled but are ignorant of how long it took you to get there. They don’t interact with you and truly evaluate the work you are doing -- which is why Magnitude has the only package proven to help improve productivity and fight the risk factors for RSI. 

Only Magnitude’s patented solution, with its unique algorithms, completely and effectively addresses these issues and more -- providing a finely tuned monitor of true computer usage as a function of time. The result is that users are only alerted to take a brief micro-break when their risk exposure exceeds limits that are tailored to reflect their personal and individual work style.  This offers vast improvement over one-dimensional computer usage egg timer or odometer programs.

What do the experts say?

One of the reasons the community of medical experts are so excited about Magnitude’s solutions is that the old generation RSI prevention packages simply count keystrokes and fire an alert after 10,000 keystrokes or 10 minutes. How can they alert you to the significance of the alert?

• Was it a lazy key stroking time or an extremely intense heads-down project at the alert threshold?
• Was the 10,000th keystroke one of the first keystrokes you hit after a one-hour lunch?
• Were you even at your computer when the 10-minute timer went off?

Unless you are using Magnitude software you just won’t know!

With Magnitude’s patented software technology, your activity over time while on your computer is measured to reveal true computer usage. Magnitude’s software solution is the first suite of software that help both individuals and businesses mitigate the health risks of repetitive stress injuries associated with regular computer use and increase productivity.

At Magnitude, we are committed to helping a whole generation of computer users to work and feel better.
