I second the earlier comment that the best posture is your next posture. The problem has always been shifts interrupt work so they just don't happen often enough. We are working on something along these lines to support more frequent useful movement without interrupting your work with a smart interactive chair. Have a handful of prototypes out and looking for early beta users in Bay Area, NYC and Boston. We can do a quick online demo and if of interest offer a week long test trial- https://movably.typeform.com/to/Nyo8603J

Agree, regular movement is key and even switching between sit and stand every 15-30m is not enough. We are working on an easy to adopt smart robotic chair along these lines to support more frequent useful movement without being as interrupting as a treadmill. Have a handful of prototypes out and looking for a few more early beta users in Bay area, NYC and Boston for July/August- if interested https://movably.typeform.com/to/y5NPOA2U

Regular movement is key, and even switching between sit and stand every 30m is not enough. We are working on something along these lines by supporting more frequent useful movement, every 1-2m, without impacting typing with a smart robotic chair. Looking for early beta users in Silicon Valley and Boston for May- https://movably.typeform.com/to/y5NPOA2U

Here is the biology as I understand it, it’s two key things: Part 1) Spine discs are the largest structure in the human body without a blood supply, & they get nourished by diffusion, generated by movement driven by muscle action. Part 2) In different positions the spine has different load pressures (see chart https://owsleychiro.com/positions-that-put-the-most-strain-o...).

In any higher pressure (non-lying down position) the problem then is simply the combo of higher pressure preventing diffusion and no movement increasing diffusion. Fix one, or the other or both.

Hunch is though 60 min straight without movement in any other non-lying down position is way too long. Sound right?

(me: bike accident, L2 compression fracture, now paying attention to my back) I am working on this too from another vector but get the lie-down desk angle, and at the moment it is credible to me.

And entirely ignored seems to be the demand side of the question, why is that? Could expenses be higher than we want if we are less healthy that we should be? I see a lot of unhealthy habits associated with the subsequent associated costly interventions required. Just because we see no path forward to affect demand, leaving it out of the discussion will ensure the debate is framed only as which system can provide that volume of healthcare for a little more or a little less.
