Shameless plug, but one that's probably highly relevant to this demographic:
My current project is desktop alerts to remind people to be more active at work: stretches, activity tips, etc. to de-stress the back, neck, wrist, improve circulation, reduce blood sugar, etc.

Otherwise I get it, but couldn't I just set a timer using the multitude of timer apps (or a physical timer) to do the same thing?
Right now, it's email-based, which is pretty terrible. Way more intrusive than I'd like.
Eventually, I want to pair it with a physical desktop hardware companion to close the feedback loop and really integrate it deeper into office culture. Wellness programs right now are a joke because 1) they lack feedback to prove effectiveness and 2) exercising after work does not fix the damage of sitting all day.
That was Michelle Obama's photo-bomb on the Miami Heat from earlier this week. I think she was trying to convey the same thing I'm trying to convey: there's no shame in moving around and stretching in the office, although it might look a little weird to others.
