When I came across UPRIGHT for the first time, I immediately recognized its potential as a biofeedback training device.

So how do you make the office space safe, healthy, and effective? How do you keep employees happy and healthy, while ensuring their office time is productive?

I spoke with Dr. Jennifer Horonjeff to learn more about just that. Dr. Horonjeff  is an ergonomic consultant to big companies and corporations, and is a researcher in biomechanics and user-centered care.
