Smart Technologies for Workplace Wellness
Published May 22, 2023, 4:20 p.m. by Jerald Waisoki
The way we work is changing. With the rise of the digital age, more and more of us are working remotely or from home. This means that the traditional 9-to-5 office job is no longer the only option.
However, this also means that we are at risk of becoming more sedentary and isolated. In order to combat these risks, we need to find ways to incorporate wellness into our work lives.
One way to do this is to use smart technologies for workplace wellness. By using devices and applications that promote healthy behaviours, we can make our work lives healthier and more enjoyable.
Some examples of smart technologies for workplace wellness include:
1. Activity trackers
2. Standing desks
3. Ergonomic chairs
4. Healthy snack delivery services
5. Fitness apps
6. Meditation apps
7. Sleep tracking devices
8. Wearable devices
9. Virtual reality headsets
10. Connected fitness equipment
Using these smart technologies can help us to be more active, productive and healthy. So why not give them a try?

next to our home the office is a place
where we spend most of our time
a conducive and healthy working
environment that ensures our wellness
and work productivity is of utmost
importance especially during these
pandemic times
how do you like working in an office
that boasts smart technologies that can
monitor and assure air quality
boost up your energy levels
add to your mental wellness and enhance
your overall productivity at work
let us walk you through the features of
a smart office
let's begin with what we call the smart
environment control system that has a
digital twin capability to improve the
performance of our smart office system
the digital twin is a powerful virtual
reality tool to monitor iot sensors
verify the operational iot actuators and
make simulations for optimal facility
operation
what the smart environment control
system does is it monitors the key
environmental data using the iot sensors
and execute corrective action to poor
air quality caused by low humidity high
dust content and carbon dioxide levels
in an air conditioned environment dry
air caused by the low humidity can cause
true irritation
when the humidity is too low the
humidifier will return on automatically
the air in the office can also have high
dust levels which can contribute to
nasal discomfort causing one to sneeze
as well as chronic heart and lung
conditions in this case an egg cleaner
is automatically turned on triggered by
high pm 2.5 or pn10 dust content
high carbon dioxide levels in the office
can induce sleepiness
when the high co2 level is detected
window will open automatically to let in
fresh air
with this improved air quality a worker
will no longer be lethargic
in fact they could take a rest or go off
for some exercise
over all this you don't have to worry
about the high power consumption as our
smart office also have a smart
capability to monitor and optimize
energy usage
hence no more worries about the high
energy consumption
so let's share with you the next smart
energy monitoring features of this
project
this is miniature smart gauge msg
developed by singapore polytechnic with
this gauge our consumption data is
collected and sent to a cloud by
analyzing this data can generate
real-time alerts automatically when an
abnormal event is detected
this project has been an eye-opening
experience for us we are proud to have
completed a highly smart capable system
it has been an excellent learning
experience for us to have acquired a
broad-based range of knowledge and
skills in using smart technologies for
solving real-world problems
