The device checks on employees who have a habit of [taking naps during working hours](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/isleepad). Since your boss can'’t keep an eye on all his office workers at all the time, the $3 Visomate does it for him. The USB device serves as an [eye position monitor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eyefocus-privacy-app). It has a [posture correction sensor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/necklife) that monitors the eye level of the person its monitoring. When the employee reaches a drowsy state and starts to slouch, the Visomate’ alarm turns on. This alarm is either in the form of a buzzer, or in silent mode is expressed as flashing LED signals. So, if you don'’t want to be embarrassed and you want to keep your job, drink a lot of coffee, stay awake and perform your job with excellence. After all, that is what you are being paid for. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.0/10 - Popularity: 10% | Activity: 11% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Remote Monitoring Devices:** There is an opportunity to develop more sophisticated and efficient monitoring devices that can help businesses keep track of their employees' activities when working remotely. - **AI-powered Productivity Tools:** Integrating AI technology in productivity tools can help businesses improve their employees' focus and efficiency during working hours. - **Occupational Health and Safety Products:** Developing specialized products for occupational health and safety, such as the Visomate, can help businesses improve their employees' working conditions and reduce the risk of accidents. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Human Resources:** HR departments can implement remote monitoring devices and productivity tools to help improve the productivity and performance of their employees, especially those working from home. - **Technology:** Developing new and innovative remote monitoring and AI-powered productivity tools can be a lucrative market opportunity for technology companies. - **Occupational Health and Safety:** The Visomate is an example of a specialized product for occupational health and safety that can help businesses improve their employees' working conditions and safety. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Slacking Support Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/office-slacker.md) - [Always-Active Mouse Jigglers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vaydeer-mechanical-mouse-jiggler.md) - [Visualized Desktop Posture Trackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/posturemonitoring-desk-accessory.md) - [Posture-Analyzing Desk Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/desk-assistant.md) - [Productive Desk Accessory Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yazak.md) - [Anti-Productivity Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quiet-quitter.md) - [Anti-Distraction Workplace Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/busy-bar.md) - [Hourly Tracking Productivity Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/turtle-sitight.md) - [Workday Wellness Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deskbreak.md)
