Abstract
In workplace health promotion there is a continuous need for adaptive strategies, tools, methods, and wellness programmes. Likewise, there are also needed abilities to mix different approaches in training. An application was produced to prevent neck and shoulder disorders and to enhance general well-being at work. Its purpose was to support especially blended health programmes. Nowadays, there are many applications targeted for self-paced use to also manage these kinds of symptoms. However, because a tutor-based consultative training still has its place in this area, innovative ICT-applications are also needed to support blended programmes or a tutor-driven instruction in occupational health. Such applications are needed in such sub-specialties and focus environments where a need for user-centred and customized health programmes is obvious.
