À propos du projet
Are we sitting too much?
So is standing the answer?
- Officiser is the first comprehensve office health management device that helps us develop a 'healthy habit' in our daily lifestyle.
While all the health threatening articles and expensive solutions are pouring out in the market, we thought ‘there must be something more practical, affordable and fun!’ and so was the Officiser born.
Recent researches are starting to reveal that "the problem lies in the absence of movement rather than the time spent sitting itself.*" Any stationary posture where energy expenditure is low may be detrimental to health, be it sitting or standing.

We want to be the SOLUTION to INACTIVE, SEDENTARY, PASSIVE LIFESTYLE!
World Health Organization released a Fact Sheet update on Jan, 2015*, indicating it is the insufficient physical activity that is dangerous to the global health.

- What our experiment tells us:
Kickstarter, please help us make this happen!
We've done our homework. Our partners are experienced design, App development and manufacturing companies that are currently working or standing-by for the first mass production. We are up and ready to go, and the only thing we are missing is YOUR SUPPORT.
At this point, we need to raise 60k USD to start the first round of manufacturing. Please help by contributing to this Kickstarter campaign and sharing with your friends. We hope Officiser can contribute to expanding proactive sitting to the sedentary lifestyle, making it a healthier and happier community.
We also want to 'hear' you!
Please let us know your thoughts, ideas, concerns, questions...etc. It means a lot to us, and will eventually help improve Officiser!
Thank YOU for your support!
Officiser on:
.... and many more.
Risques et défis
The potential risk lies where our existing supplier / manufacturer's business might be unable to commence production for some reason after our project is successfully funded. We have mitigated this risk by building relationships with multiple potential suppliers in different countries.
