New Study Links Home-Based Office Work to Increased Risk of Injuries
University of Cincinnati study links working in the "new normal" of home-based offices to increased risk of musculoskeletal injuries.
Access our free technology app for training on reducing the risk of musculoskeletal injuries while working in your temporary workspace.
In response to Covid-19, Briotix Health has launched our BxPro Virtual Office technology app, free of charge, to office-based workers that are now working from home. The app is designed to help office workers avoid preventable musculoskeletal injuries such as back, neck, and wrist strains.
Through the app, workers can access help setting up their home offices correctly, understand and apply ergonomic risk prevention behaviors, and get access to a wealth of informational resources on working safely at home to avoid common ergonomic discomforts such as back, neck, and wrist strains.
“As an injury prevention company, we believe we are in a unique position to support our community through socially meaningful efforts by utilizing our resources to help the population at large,” said Stephen Brown, Briotix Health CEO. “We hope by offering this resource to workers who now find themselves in temporary home workspaces, we can help them make their workspace as comfortable and safe as possible.”
In addition to the free tools being offered, users can sign-up for live one-on-one Ergo Coaching with an Ergonomist to receive individual recommendations on their workspace for an additional charge of $89.

Briotix Health will provide free access to the app and the educational materials as the pandemic response proceeds, but for no less than 30 days.
