Product Type:
Sensor and software to promote movement in office workers
Description:
As part of the Own Personal Care (OPC) project, researchers at TU Dresden investigated which mechanism best replicates the natural movement of the hips and spine, how much inclination of the seat is beneficial and how often people should move while sitting.
Based on this data, a sensor was developed that records movement behavior while sitting and, in combination with software, can be used preventively to promote movement among office workers.
The sensor is attached under the seat of the office chair and helps the seated person to control their movement. The sensor and software are currently patent pending.
Other:
The project is funded by the Karl Schlecht Foundation.
