The device works by having a [mouse placed on top](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/keychron-m5) and activates with your choice of settings to keep the mouse moving when the user is away. This will prevent the [computer from sleeping](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/busy-bar) and also keep the user appearing active if an employer is watching. The unit will sound an audible alert when the user receives a notification to let them know they need to check in. The 'I'mOn' mouse mover will keep a user's status as active and available, while allowing them to take care of small tasks around the house. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.5/10 - Popularity: 27% | Activity: 6% | Freshness: 12% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## 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 Work Peripherals:** Developing devices like the 'I'mOn' mouse mover is a disruptive innovation opportunity for creating new peripherals that ease the transition to remote work - **Activity-monitoring Devices:** Creating devices that monitor the activity level of remote workers, like the 'I'mOn' mouse mover, presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the field of activity-tracking - **Notification Alert Devices:** Producing notification alert devices like the 'I'mOn' mouse mover has disruptive innovation potential due to the rise of remote work and the need for always being available ### Sectors Adopting This - **Computer Peripheral Manufacturing:** The computer peripheral industry can benefit from developing products like the 'I'mOn' mouse mover to accommodate the surge in remote work during the pandemic - **Activity Tracker Manufacturing:** Activity tracker manufacturers can utilize the technology behind the 'I'mOn' mouse mover to develop activity-tracking devices specifically for remote workers - **Notification Alert Device Manufacturing:** Companies specializing in notification alert devices can capitalize on the trend towards remote work by designing products similar to the 'I'mOn' mouse mover ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Always-Active Mouse Jigglers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vaydeer-mechanical-mouse-jiggler.md) - [Remote Presentation Mouses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wearable-finger-mouse.md) - [Discomfort Prevention Mouses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vertical-ergonomic-mouse.md) - [Ergonomic Scroll Mouse Peripherals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/slidermouse-pro.md) - [Health-Conscious Mouse Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ergo-ergonomic-mouse-concept.md) - [Wearable Ring-Inspired Peripherals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-ring-mouse.md) - [USB Hub-Equipped Mouses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/protoarc-modular-hubmouse.md) - [Self-Stabilizing Mouse Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stilt-mouse.md) - [Strain-Reducing Computer Mouses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orbit-mouse.md)
