Justification:
1. In these recent years, there is a growing trend of healthy eating; people are becoming
more health conscious, choosing to eat healthy food and exercise. However,
ergonomics still has had little impact in Malaysia. With this app, people will be reminded
that good posture is also vital for healthy living.
2. ErgonoApp’s large library of videos enables it to quickly suggest suitable ergonomic
postures according to the place or body position the user is in. Users might be able to
obtain similar information online, but they have to search manually each time for
postures applicable to every situation. This could be a deterrent as everyone wants it fast
and easy in this day and age.
3. ErgonoApp’s step-by-step video examples also makes it easy for users to follow.
4. ErgonoApp’s reminder feature is especially important as users might practice ergonomics
for the first few minutes, then forget about their posture entirely as they progress
throughout the day. To accommodate the user, he or she is able to set the time interval
for this feature. In due time, the user will naturally begin to practice ergonomics on his or
her own as the body grows accustomed to the correct postures. The benefits of
ergonomics will become more and more evident as users experience enhancement in
productivity and improvement in quality of life.
Sustainability:
1. The app is sustained by sponsored advertisements.
2. Users have to pay to unlock new batches of videos/latest features.
