ErgoAlert - Ergonomic Risk Analysis using RULA Score

Course Project for Ergonomics/Human factors for Design

Features:

1: Real-Time RULA Score Calculation and Monitoring

  • Calculate your RULA (Rapid Upper Limb Assessment) score in real-time.
  • Enable risk sound alerts to monitor your posture over an extended period.
  • Check your risk level duration.

2: RULA Score Calculation via Image Upload

  • Upload an image to calculate the RULA level score.
  • Utilize the risk guidelines to perform further inspections based on the score obtained from the image analysis.

General Guidelines:

This section provides advice on maintaining proper posture and ergonomics while working. It includes:

  • Recommended yoga postures to practice during breaks.
  • General seating and posture guidelines to minimize ergonomic risk.

Instructions

Refer to the instructions.txt file for detailed steps on how to run the code.


Future Scope:

  • Average Score Calculation: Calculate an average score of real-time seating positions and suggest changes to either the chair or specific posture elements that contribute to high alert scores.
  • Personalized Ergonomic Solutions: Use the data to personalize a chair and test and analyze it, tailoring it to individual needs for optimal ergonomic support. This could be applied to any sitting-related posture item to enhance comfort and reduce ergonomic risks.

This project aims to enhance ergonomic awareness and improve workplace posture, reducing the risk of musculoskeletal disorders.
