Makes Anywhere Ergonomics. Sit Effortlessly Upright. Track & Improve Your Posture and Habit

Story

 

 

Enyware lets you do the impossible. Sit in a “zero-stress” posture where your spine is stacked in an ideal S-shape while your body is upright, balanced, with back muscles comfortably relaxed.

A few minutes in Enyware, and you will never want to sit the same way again.

 

Enyware applies just the right amount of force from its dual lumbar to roll up your pelvis and shape your spine into a neutral S-Shape. At the same time, its patent-pending posture shaper structure gently lifts the front of your chest into a power pose that eliminates slouching in a way no other chairs can.

This unique approach stacks your spine into an upright and relaxed posture, with minimal muscle force required to maintain this perfect balance.

Enyware does not lock the body in one posture. You are still free to write, look through the microscope, or create a work of art. Enyware will continuously support your body, reducing the spine’s load and returning you to the zero-stress posture whenever you need it.

 

Your phone, iPad, laptop, and joypad require your arms and shoulders to be in different positions, but most armrests are set too far apart or at the wrong height to support modern devices.

These poorly designed armrests force us into awkward postures. One side was leaning to use a phone, slouching down to find armrest support when typing, or bending our neck down to view the tablet contents.

Enyware’s dynamic, detachable armrest is created as the result of our research and forms a critical part of the total support your body needs at work.

Our armrest is adjustable to let the elbows rest at the right height to reinforce your “zero-stress” upright posture.

It moves out to support your arms when typing or moves in create a support platform to let both hands hold phones & tablets at a healthy eye level, so you don’t need to bend down.

With your neck properly aligned and the shoulders relaxed, shoulder pain and text neck risks are greatly reduced. 

 

Combining dynamic armrest with the zero-stress posture is how Enyware provides total support to the body and helps transform your posture away from the ergonomic pain affecting most of us today.

Even with Enyware’s zero-stress sitting posture and dynamic armrest, static posture for long stretches is still unhealthy.

To encourage dynamic sitting, we integrate a sensor into Enyware to be your habit coach throughout the day. 

Enyware tracks your torso movement and angle, so it knows if you are sitting still for too long or too reliant on the forward support.

Choose to set active time goals and reminders to get up for a short stretch. Since Enyware is smart enough to know if you have left the seat or shifted posture, it will send a nudge only when necessary.

 

Enyware lets you set active goals and work with you either through app notification, browser notification, or just a report at the end of the day.

 

Enyware can remind you to periodically alternate between inclined seating in the backrest and perching on the seat. The perching posture opens the hip to the optimal 135 degrees, engages the core muscles, and further reduces tension on your spine. With the support provided by Enyware, you can perch more comfortably for longer. 

By putting you in control of your health goals, Enyware provides the positive reinforcement you need to transform sedentary habits into a more active lifestyle.

Enyware is the world’s first smart seat that considers both the physical and mental aspects of sitting.

While our physical support helps you achieve a “zero-stress” sitting posture. Our intelligent system also gives you a powerful tool to reach a “zero-stress” state of mind.

Integrated with Enyware’s posture shaper is a sensor that calculates your breathing rate and even detects stress based on your breathing pattern. 

Breathing is a conscious act that can create dramatic changes in your body. It can increase the oxygen level in the bloodstream and reduce stress without the need for medication. 

Now with Enyware, you will see your breathing rate and set a stress alarm in case of elevated breathing. Pick a technique to help manage your stress in the same way top executives employ mindful breathing to boost their performance. 

As a society, we are obsessed with how many calories we burn and what muscle group we exercise from just 1 hour in the gym. But we believe what we do during 8 hours of sitting is no less important and should be intelligently managed by you.

Enyware makes sitting as intelligent as our other devices, not to distract you with another piece of technology, but to help your body and mind live in the same moment, and enriching both.

Enyware lets you take the zero-stress sitting experience anywhere. All you need is an even surface, and Enyware will turn and place your ergonomic space.

Enyware weighs only 2.6 kg and is easily portable, so you can use it in your kitchen chair for work and easily put it away during meals.   Freeing up the need to place out-of-place furniture like an office chair in your living space.

Just about everything about Enyware is adjustable. You can change the pan size, height, and depth of the posture shaper to fit your body type snugly. Its armrest is also detachable depending on your needs and sitting style.

We designed Enyware for everyone. We took great care to test Enyware with people of all sex, body size, and ethnicity to ensure maximum comfort and support.

 

It would be best if you had ergonomics everywhere, and Enyware makes that possible, anywhere.

 

Enyware was vigorously tested with medical-grade motion capture sensors and EMG to measure both the participant’s posture and muscle strain over a 30-minute sitting session simulating tasks performed by modern workers.

The result proves that using Enyware can help you sit upright for much longer while imposing only half the muscle strain compared to sitting upright without support.

In time-lapsed comparisons, participants can keep the optimal spine posture without slouching throughout the entire testing period, with better neck and shoulder alignment.

The EMG results show that our “zero-stress” posture imposes only half the strain on the lower back muscle (Thoracolumbar fascia) and middle back muscle (Trapezius) when compared to sitting upright without support.

Even better, sitting upright with Enyware strains your muscle less than slumping.

This impressive result has been repeated both under laboratory conditions and in real-world scenarios with our beta testers.  

In 2018, our team made the LEX Bionic chair and the kind people of Kickstarter made LEX the most crowdfunded wearable robotics product ever. LEX had a 100% Kickstarter delivery date went on to star in one episode of HBO’s Silicon Valley.
