ENGAGEMENT IN RESEARCH
The core business of Fitbase GmbH comprises online-based prevention services. The main focus is on mediating content relevant to health, both on a theoretical and practical basis, in the fields of back health, stress management, and nutrition. Here are some of the current projects.
RESEARCH PROJECT WELLBEING
The aim of wellbeing is the development of a modular system that combines the fields of classical health promotion in order to improve the workability and well-being of older people in the workplace.
- Workplace health for the those aged 50+
- 3D sensor technology with real-time biofeedback
- Integrated platform (movement, stress management, nutrition)
- Initiated and supported by the EU
SMART-CUSHION and SitSmart
Smart-Cushion is a sensor-controlled seat cushion which is used to analyze and optimize seating positions. The aim is to prevent postural damage and its related health consequences.
- Analysis of seated position in real time
- Communication via mobile app
- Linked to online coaching from fitbase
- Cooperation with IGD Darmstadt
SitSmart is the follow-up project and uses a complementary technique. In the current SitSmart project the cushion is further developed based on the results of the Smart-Cushion evaluation.
