  • If Your Mouse Could Track Your Work Habits

    Imagine an ergonomic wireless mouse that could track certain computer work patterns, such as:

    ・Total computer work time each day
    ・Actual active work time
    ・Length of continuous work sessions
    ・Longest continuous work session
    ・Number of breaks taken
    ・Work-time trends
    ・Daily and weekly work patterns

    It would only track work activity and time. It would not record what you click, which websites you visit, or what you type.

  • Which types of information would you most like to know?(Select up to 5)*
  • From Data to Recommendations

    Imagine the system detects the following:

    “Today, you worked continuously for 104 minutes—the longest session you have had this week.”

    It then gives you the following recommendation:

    “Tomorrow, try taking an additional five-minute break between 2:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m.”
