As institutions transitioned from analog to digital environments, people began to spend more time sitting in one position for longer periods of time. As a result, institutions dealt with a greater number of computer related injuries such as carpal tunnel, neck and back problems and eye fatigue. This has driven many to access the value of ergonomic furniture and it’s impact on productivity. What they discovered was that ergonomic furniture and environments increased productivity, reduced fatigue, and they helped to achieve the full benefits of PACS and other advanced digital technologies.
