  Emotional and physical well-being at workplace is important for a positive
work environment and higher productivity. Jobs such as software programming
lead to a sedentary lifestyle and require high interaction with computers.
Working at the same job for years can cause a feeling of intellectual
stagnation and lack of drive. Many employees experience lack of motivation,
mild to extreme depression due to reasons such as aversion towards job
responsibilities and incompatibility with coworkers or boss. This research
proposed an affect monitoring system EmoFit that would play the role of
psychological and physical health trainer. The day to day computer activity and
body language was analyzed to detect the physical and emotional well-being of
the user. Keystrokes, activity interruptions, eye tracking, facial expressions,
body posture and speech were monitored to gauge the users health. The system
also provided activities such as at-desk exercise and stress relief game and
motivational quotes in an attempt to promote users well-being. The experimental
results and positive feedback from test subjects showed that EmoFit would help
improve emotional and physical well-being at jobs that involve significant
computer usage.
