Bangalore (PTI): Wockhardt Hospitals on Friday launched country's first "Interactive Occupational Health Screening Campaign" for employees across all industries.

The online occupational health evaluation screening would help individuals know their stress levels, review diet habits, check the quality of sleep, examine symptoms of injuries due to continual strain and take timely remedial action.

The new campaign marks the occasion of 'World Repetitive Strain Injury Awareness Day.'

Repetitive Strain Injury or RSI, which is also known as 'occupational overuse syndrome', is the most commonly seen condition across workers who perform repetitive tasks compounded with poor posture, resulting in injuries to muscles, tendons, nerves and other soft tissues.

It is commonly seen in techies, teachers, assembly line workers etc. Wockhardt Hospitals has launched this Interactive Occupational Health Screening Campaign to help individuals detect RSI at an early stage, a release said here.

"It is sad to see so many workers losing their jobs because of advanced RSI. Work related overuse injuries not only affects quality of work but also reduces efficacy and productivity of work."

"By launching the Interactive Occupational Health Screening, Wockhardt Hospitals is trying to create awareness among the people on RSI and also to help them identify it at the earliest", said Joseph Pasangha, Chief of Rehabilitation, Wockhardt Hospitals.
