| dc.description.abstract | Focus Assistant is a software that
will help the user to be concerned about their
health and refrain them from overworking
and also will guide them back to work when
they get distracted for a prolonged time. The
system consists of two specific parts as the
user should be alerted when distracted and
the user should be notified to take a break if
overworking. One of the main objectives of
this paper is to identify the features and
requirements that should be implemented in
the system. The aim of this research was to
reviews articles and other works related to
the topic to get an understanding of the
features that could be implemented in the
system, and technologies that could be used
regarding the system. By gaining a thorough
understanding of the related work the
expected results of the system would be that
it helps the user to be focus on work by
alerting them when they are distracted and
as well as keeping their health unaffected in
stressful work environments by asking them
to practice some tasks such as to have water
breaks, to move stretch and relax their
muscles and take eye rests. There are
software applications and systems that guide
the user to take breaks if overworking and to
practice ergonomic guidelines and also there
are tools and chrome extensions that keep
the user from getting distracted from their
tasks. But Focus Assistant will be the first
desktop application that would have both the
options, so the user can focus on their health
as well as not be distracted from their tasks
for long periods. Finally, suitable features for
the system are reviewed based on the
information gathered from the related work. | en_US |
