THE PROBLEM
One in three working adults have occupations that are classified as “sedentary.”(U.S BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS)
WHAT WE FOUND
Static positions often result in reduced mobility and persistent discomfort.
However, office workers don’t take the time to address their pain.
USER JOURNEY MAP
EXISTING WORKPLACE SOLUTIONS
Current solutions provide temporary relief, but don’t promote long-term recovery.
DESIGN GOALS
+ Accessible and integrates into the work day+ Targeted muscle-relief solutions
+ Physical and mental recovery
SKETCH IDEATION

DOWNSELECTION
