Uplift — Posture Monitoring Device
In many offices, sedentary behaviour is increasing. Of great concern is poor posture, back pain and irreversible damage to the spine arising from sitting for too long in unergonomic positions. These issues have increased over the past 50 years and will continue to do so in the future, unless there is an intervention in the workspace. The idea is a posture monitoring hub that sits at the user’s desk, encouraging them to reduce slouching and sedentary time. It does this with a real-time view of the user’s posture along with useful prompts and advice.

Many sources of air pollution are tied directly to urban cities. However, the level of information available on air quality is quite low, compromising how aware the public are to the dangers they face daily.
Existing solutions can provide information on air quality. However, current products have limits on how beneficial or easy to understand the information is.
Aero is a portable air monitor with multiple ways to carry, allowing it to stay with the user throughout the day, providing useful real-time information in all the locations that they visit, such as at home, at work or while commuting.
Sensors monitor key pollutants. Aero uses their readings to create an overall air rating, which is displayed on the device using a ring that changes colour depending on how clean the air is.
Aero conveys information concisely through the LED ring and colour system. Users can easily understand air quality by the ring that changes colours, depending on how clean the air is.
An app works alongside Aero to provide more detailed information and insights on the users day. It also provides actionable advice to reduce exposure to pollutants.
