Studying the Health Problems and Work-related Musculoskeletal Disorders Caused by IT-Technologies

Information technologies

Abstract

The development of computer technologies makes our work easier to conduct, but on the other hand causes new but serious health-associated problems. The number of chronic diseases caused by IT technologies is growing increasingly all over the world. Sedentary behavior is one of the main factors contributing to degradation of health and, in some cases, to death. That is why we are encouraged to take the challenge and get involved in solving some of the fundamental problems. Here a question arises: how to protect humans against more serious health problems and complications in future? Health problems caused by IT technologies and Work-related Musculoskeletal Disorders (WMSDs) widely spread all over the world. What can be done to lighten the problem in this area? First of all, we need to ensure that all our doubts are correct and continue proposing solutions for them. Human health is mostly affected by the negligible attitude of people towards their sitting posture and health. As a result of our studies among more than 300 workers, we have revealed that most of them had a feeling of discomfort caused by the work they were doing and almost none of the interviewees did anything to improve the situation.
