• Anti-Fatigue Shoe Insoles

  Personal anti‐fatigue shoe covers and insoles can help to reduce fatigue and discomfort to the hips,
  legs, knees and feet caused by standing for long periods on hard surface. These can be used in places
  where standard anti‐fatigue matting would not be suitable.

  MEGAComfort PAM

  The Personal Anti‐Fatigue Mat (PAM) Insole since it is in direct contact with the feet and body, are far
  more effective than the standard anti‐fatigue floor mats at reducing muscle strain, improving balance
  reactions and increasing blood circulation. The dynamic customization of the Personal Anti‐fatigue Mats
  (PAM's) give the MEGAComfort's dual layered memory foam insoles their unmatched personal touch.
  Unlike standard anti‐fatigue matting, each and every employ can now have their own individual
  personalized comfort zone everywhere they go.

  Dragon for Maestro Voice Recognition Software

  Voice recognition programs transfer speech into text that is output on your monitor. They are frequently used for dictation. Most programs have a base vocabulary of at least 30,000 words. Specific vocabularies such as medical and legal can be purchased and added to the base vocabulary.

  Benefits of using voice recognition programs include:

  1. reduced transcription costs
  2. increased word processing speed
  3. hands available for other tasks
  4. keyboard-free computing
  5. reduced repetitive keying.

  Dragon for Maestro is available at no charge if covered under the Duke Health enterprise license. If not covered, the department is responsible for the cost. The base cost is $89/month and then an additional $11/month if using PowerMic Mobile which enables the use of cell phone as a microphone. If not using PowerMic Mobile, the department will need to order a USB Nuance PowerMic which costs around $250.
