Proactively predict and 
prevent work-related pain

"Simple and easy ways to check how I'm working. Simple language and easy to follow advice"

"This should definitely be something in companies' staff well-being agendas across the board – I am guessing you already do this with lots of other companies, I would also recommend this to be on a website and pinging across on an advertisement. So many people are working from home and forget about this important stuff – it’s good to remind them."

"What I liked about VIDA most was the visual assessment I had to do which showed me the correct position, posture, distance etc I should be from my terminal. The session also made suggestions which would keep me in good health and what to do to maintain that. It also gave suggestions to help with the musculoskeletal system which is essential."

"I found the whole experience really really useful and because I do have to work at home the advice and tips that were given to me were fantastic. I have been doing some yoga and following the advice and it was brilliant because it was tailored just to me! I am much more aware of my posture and taking walking 5-minute breaks and not being hunched over my computer! I feel that I have gained more from this and it has made a huge difference to me!"

"I liked the fact that there are resources available to help with physical health at my desk and the workplace in general. It was nice to get the tips and feedback I needed to improve my physical health at work."

"I really liked the tips and advice given at the end of the assessment, which I intend to implement and use to measure my progress as time goes by."

"I found the whole experience really really useful. The advice was fantastic. I have been doing some yoga and following the advice and it was brilliant because it was tailored just to me! I am much more aware of my posture and taking walking 5-minute breaks and not being hunched over my computer! I feel that I have gained more from this and it has made a huge difference to me!"

"Straightforward process. Sensible questions and UI. Just the right amount of feedback and justification. I am a new user but a periodic check-in particularly with regards to light and temperature would make good sense to me."

"The material was helpful, clear, and easy to navigate, but I was also impressed by the many immediately available resources provided (in particular, the 'desk yoga' video - which I actually did right away!)"

"It was a new interesting experience for me and a wonderful one, ergonomics is something that I, badly, tend to ignore or not give enough importance to it, so right now to have such a immerse experience with the questions and software used was pretty cool. The questions felt prepared instead of random or without sense, I loved that."

"Very good survey. Informative"

"I think just understanding your workspace at home and how that affects your posture and productivity was a great insight. It also flagged a few things that I may need more mindfulness on while sat working."

"I can't wait to go through all the modules. VIDA is fun and informative and it has actually prompted me to take better care of myself throughout the work day! My wonderful boss/friend, invited me to the platform and I can’t thank her enough for caring so deeply about her team!!!"

"That was really useful - I have struggled with a pain in my side and hadn't put the two things together about my camera."

"The material was helpful, clear, and easy to navigate, but I was also impressed by the many immediately available resources provided (in particular, the 'desk yoga' video - which I actually did right away!)"

"It is so easy to complete the assessments and only takes a few minutes. Well done for that."

"I found it very user-friendly, interactive, with lots of good information on best practice."

"I like the interactiveness of VIDA and how you can see a quick snapshot of your health and it is useful to know what small things you can change to make your health better."

"The technology used was amazing to determine the correct seating posture for me (I'm not techy so it may be basic software but I was blown away at how clever it was!) It has given me some ideas to take away to work on my lower back pain and some exercises to complete throughout my day to help improve it which I'm looking forward to."

"It was good information given and I did the exercises which helped with the neck and I changed my desk area."

"Great UX and easy to use"

"Great interactive session"

"The main thing that I like is the videos for helping with different stretches each day and that they are based around sitting at a desk as I suffer quite a lot with back and shoulder pain."

"I loved that I got a quick snapshot of my health and know what I need to do to improve my posture at my desk"

"Love the exercises"

"Easy to use and informative"

Easy to use, gave easy changes to make.

"I loved that I got a quick snapshot of my health and know what I need to do to improve my posture at my desk."

"The video assessment was great and helped me to adjust my seating position. The exercises are also useful and can be repeated regularly to hopefully help alleviate any pain."

"It is so easy to complete the assessments and only takes a few minutes. Well done for that"
