Modern work is sedentary, which increases our risk of chronic disease. We examine the behaviour of sedentary workers and research the health benefits of monitoring technology and physical activity in the workplace.
We bring together experts from a diverse range of fields including physical activity, sedentary behaviour, business, and architecture to generate new knowledge that will better inform company wellness policy and the establishment of activity-promoting workplaces.
Our research in healthier workplaces aims to:
Our work creates new knowledge to better inform company wellness policy and the establishment of activity-promoting workplaces.
Our findings and new technologies will make sedentary workers healthier. In addition to using commercially available self-monitoring devices, we’re also developing new software, apps and e-solutions that will better monitor workers’ physical activity.
