  "title": "CaRing: Preventing Carpal Tunnel Syndrome based on Daily Activities from Always-Available Input Device",
  "summary": "We present CaRing, a ring worn on the base knuckle of the index finger, a wearable system for detecting the start and end of mouse use to help prevent Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, in which the damage to the median nerve is permanent. CaRing senses finger movement, which neither a software timer nor a wrist-worn device detects. The displacement reported by an optical flow sensor is accumulated into a running value, then a zero point is measured while the hand rests on the desk at the start of each ses",
