Collaboration à la Recherche sur le Bien-être

Notre offre toujours plus riche en supports et produits pour la mobilité des systèmes informatiques, écrans, ordinateurs portables, téléviseurs, tablettes et appareils mobiles nous a permis de mener et d’innover dans chacun de ces marchés tout en continuant à fournir des solutions pour quasiment chaque créneau.

En collaboration avec des organismes universitaires et de recherche, Ergotron examine les catégories de risque : musculo-squelettique, psycho-social, cardiovasculaire et métabolique. Les études utilisant le WorkFit et le LearnFit d’Ergotron ont recueilli des données pour mesurer la différence que les interventions en position debout peuvent faire sur le mal de dos, la fréquence cardiaque, l’apport et la dépense caloriques, la glycémie, l’humeur et d’autres indicateurs de santé.
