Overview

ErgoType is an AI-powered Apple Watch app that monitors typing posture in real time. Using the watch's motion sensors and an on-device AI model, it recognizes whether the wrist and hand are in a correct or incorrect position while typing, and alerts the user immediately on the wrist.

A companion iPhone app, ErgoType Monitor, connects to the watch and keeps a live count of correct and incorrect postures, along with a history of recent predictions. From students to professionals, ErgoType helps everyone reduce strain, prevent repetitive strain injuries (RSIs), and type smarter.
