Take a break from sitting and get up.
Sitting for a long period of time is not good for your body. You must take a break and move every now and then. A lot of people forget to do this. So what if we are reminded to move every now and then? We found a way to give people a reminder to move when they have been sitting for a long time. When you sit in a chair you often sit on a pillow. We designed a pillow that will notice when you sit on the chair. Red lights on each side of the pillow start to shine. When you don’t start moving at that moment, the lights will start blinking. And if that isn’t enough to make you get up, the pillow will start beeping. The pillow will also notice if you sit down again too soon. The lights and the beeping will not turn off, so you really have to move for some time.
