SummaryResearch prototype ring worn on the base knuckle of the index finger, using an optical flow sensor to detect start and end of mouse use for preventing carpal tunnel syndrome. Evaluation with 10 lab users showed ~90% of events detected within two seconds of researcher labels, with no per-user parameters.
Why it mattersConcrete hardware prototype with documented sensor method, threshold logic, and lab evaluation numbers, useful as a reference for anyone designing mouse-use or ergonomic wearables.
