PosChair: Promoting Productivity & Health in Every Seat

Sedentary behaviour, characterized by prolonged periods of sitting has become increasingly prevalent in modern lifestyles. It is an activity that has taken over most aspects of our days, both work and leisure. This way of life is shown to increase various serious health risks. This paper addresses the need for innovative solutions to combat these risks and introduces the "PosChair" - a novel interactive chair designed to promote user health and productivity by encouraging shorter sitting periods through intermittent standing. The paper offers an explanation on how the chair achieves this.
