Purpose

With an increasingly sedentary lifestyle, more health problems are starting to arise. These health problems associated with sitting are not alleviated with exercise but rather with sitting less. Therefore we wanted a way to analyze when people had been sitting too long and give them gentle increasing reminders of getting up. We have it so each consecutive 30 minutes the reminder gets progressively more intense. This way the user can concentrate and ignore the buzzing when they are focused. Though the human mind can only focus for so long. The reminders get more intense until they are more persuasive encouraging people when they are less likely to focus to get up and walk around.
