Elustros Seating App Development

Ellustros has developed an App and SMART Chair to provide an automated ergonomic office solution using AI and IoT technology. The app uses real-time data to assess optimal posture and automatically adjust the SMART Chair to ensure comfort, efficiency, and reduce the risk of injury. At this stage of the product development, the business model requires an independent assessment of the tros.ai App. The App uses standard methods and AI to determine seating, desk and monitor dimensions that it collects from photos taken from a mobile phone camera. The use of AI in ergonomics is new to the field and allows other body features to be included in the process. As a precursor to integrating with the SMART chair, the purpose of the application is to test the App outputs against “standard” ergonomic rules for seating and office set up and personal preferences (which may not be appropriate). We plan to capture anthropometrics (body shape & size) from 100 diverse male and female individuals from the McMaster University community. We will test the software against a set up purely based on individual anthropometrics and comfort.
