Treats desk injuries. Built a goblin.

About

I work in occupational medicine. Most of what I treat isn't "pulled my back lifting a box." It's carpal tunnel, tennis elbow, swollen legs, sore necks. Problems in people whose most dangerous piece of equipment is apparently a desk. Every break app I tried was a timer with a chime, and a chime gets ignored by the 3rd time it goes off. We built Ergoblin, a desktop break reminder with a snarky goblin who's unimpressed with the situation. People might tolerate standing up if the one telling them sugarcoats it with humor. No investors. No ambition to disrupt anything (except your 10 hour screen marathon). A small team with day jobs: I bring the clinic and the goblin, a systems architect brings the part that has to work. Ask the goblin anything else. He's the one with opinions.
