DeskItUp is a sit-standing desk that helps you to keep track of your habits and suggest you a more healthy way of being at the desk.
Nowadays people are starting to feel the problem of being forced to work at a desk for the whole day. In the situation in which people have a really important deadline to hit they tend to sacrifice their standing pauses to get the job done. This reflects badly on their health and has been proven to be the root of many diseases.
That is why nowadays there is this whole new trend of sit-standing working. On the market appeared many devices like the one you see on the side that are supposed to help people to continue to work in the standing position by providing a platform that can be raised.
However many people are disappointed with the current technology because they feel that they are not using the sit-standing desk in a proper way. They either sit too much or stand too much.
Our solution aims to be an innovative workstation that monitors the behavior of the employee at the desk and suggest when it is time to work standing and when it is time to instead take a walk.
It all works with the power of some sensors that understands whether the worker is at the desk or not. That keeps the user intervention in the usage of the device very low.
The feedback to the users are provided with a light haptic feedback on the surface of the desk and on the on-board display
Moreover the user can see statistics on her behavior at the desk and analyze her working patterns. This is aimed tu suggest a more healthy lifestyle based on the user activity during the day
