RedRick Technologies, a Canadian provider of purpose-built ergonomic workstations, monitor mounting solutions, and reading room design guidance for healthcare professionals, announces the release of its new ComfortView—Home Ergonomic Workstation, which is designed for radiologists working from home.
Driven in large part by the COVID-19 pandemic, more radiologists are working remotely and in home offices. They are discovering that the same ergonomic workplace challenges they experienced in the reading room are present in their home office. In addition, they may be struggling with less space and aesthetic design issues.
ComfortView—Home is a pre-configured, optimized workstation designed for home offices, which provides:
- Sit/stand and monitor adjustments that facilitate frequent changing of position
- Monitor adjustments that are independent of an unbroken work surface that maximizes user workspace
- A compact design
- Dimmable blue back lighting that helps reduce eye fatigue and maintain visual acuity
Bryant Oliverson, MD, a radiologist for Salt Lake City-based Intermountain Healthcare, recently purchased a ComfortView—Home for his home office and says, “The ComfortView—Home ergonomic workstation that I purchased from RedRick Technologies is awesome in so many ways. It was easy to set up and provides a super stable space for my four-monitor PACS reading station. Not only can I now sit and stand throughout the day, but I can adjust the monitors just like my workstation back in the reading room.”
Greg Patrick, CEO at RedRick Technologies, adds, “Like many professionals over this last year, radiologists are increasingly providing their services from a home office. As this has extended over time, they are experiencing many of the same stresses due to poor ergonomics that used to be confined to the traditional reading room. We are seeing a significant increase in the number of inquiries for ergonomic solutions suitable for radiologists’ home offices.”
