Abstract

TAILOR is a wearable device in a form of sleeve designed to improve the incidence of repetitive strain injuries and carpal tunnel syndrome. With the significant increase of people working in offices and the growing proportion of computer use, injuries around the wrist and the elbow are becoming more prevalent. TAILOR aims to deliver a relatively unobtrusive solution for monitoring the strain on the wrists and elbows, and provide a more proactive way of preventing these injuries. In our initial evaluation we found that our system is desirable for most of the users showing 91% of people would use this device again.
