"Aspirus might be the most technological standing desk yet"
Tech.Co
"... what really distinguishes the Aspirus from other desks is the inclusion of a small sensor array that communicates with your smartphone via Bluetooth" Gizmag
"...its unique selling point is the fact that it can be paired with a smartphone to allow you to set goals and reminders. This allows you to stay on top of how long you've been sitting or standing, and change up your position accordingly" Trend Hunter
"
...The rig tracks how long you have been sitting there and uses a handy notification light in the shape of the Aspirus logo to let you know it’s time to stand up. It can also tell when you’re not at your desk, so it tracks your sitting/standing time more accurately... Effectively, the app helps turn the workstation into a kind of life coach for your workplace behavior."

About Tutudesk Campaign
Aspirus is proud to partner with Tutudesk. Conceived by Archbishop Desmond Tutu, a Tutudesk provides a comfortable surface to read and write on, and is designed to be portable for kids to take home for homework.
Modern technology has advanced to the point of smart desks like Aspirus. But for children who lack any desk at all, learning to read and write functionally is almost impossible - they have to write on the floor or use a classmate’s back. Sub-Saharan Africa has a shortage of 95 million school desks.
The Tutudesk is made from polymer, and offers a school desk that is sustainable, portable, low cost and effective. Over 5 years, a Tutudesk costs less than $0.02 per school day while providing an essential platform supporting literacy.
1.3 million Tutudesks have been deployed in more than 3,000 schools across Africa, with a goal of 20 million Tutudesks to 20 million children by 2020.
Help change these children’s prospects forever.

STEP 3: Check whether your monitor can be mounted
Aspirus follows the VESA industry standard - these are "hole patterns" at the back of monitor displays for mounting purposes. Many monitors are VESA compliant, but some are not.
Look for 4 mounting holes on the back of your monitor and check that they fit the 75x75mm or 100x100mm hole pattern in the diagram below. This is sometimes hidden under the monitor stand. Or, check your monitor manual or contact us at hello@aspirus.co (with your monitor model number). For iMacs, refer to the FAQ and for non-VESA monitors, you can use the Laptop/Monitor platform.

STEP 4: Decide on the colours (Aspirus Ultimate)
Aspirus Ultimate purchasers can select between Matte Black (left) and Pearl White (right). We will email you for your colour preference after the campaign.

STEP 5: Decide on your customised laser-engraved panel (Aspirus Ultimate)

WHERE WE ARE
We have had back pain for years, due to long hours in front of computers. Though using standing desks helped, the solution was inadequate - when we got busy, we simply forgot to stand.
Determined to make a change, we started an ergonomics furniture company and spent 1.5 years developing a solution. We worked with more than 50 clients to understand their pain points, and used these insights to create Aspirus. After several rounds of testing, Aspirus is now ready.
WHY WE NEED YOU
Our Indiegogo campaign is a chance to reach out to people who spend hours in front of their desks, and wish to use technology to improve their health while working. By helping you keep active, reduce back pain and improve focus, we want to enable you to do what you are doing better, With your support, we can bring Aspirus to market much faster and together, change work forever.

TIMELINE
RISKS & CHALLENGES
We've spent 1.5 years developing Aspirus and getting it ready for production. Manufacturing a hardware product is complex. That's why we've planned out in detail the steps for manufacturing, certification, and fulfilment.
Manufacturing
We have selected a manufacturing partner in Taiwan with decades of experience in producing high-quality metal parts, who will work closely with us through the production process.
Electronics
The board and firmware are functional and we are in the process of building a final, optimised version. Development work sometimes take longer than expected, but our engineers have a lot of experience in this area.
Certification
The product also requires certification for certain countries. To tackle this, we've consulted certification agencies from the start when we developed Aspirus.
Our priority is to deliver a product that will exceed your expectations, on time.

We have been very fortunate to have partners who believe in our vision and supported us in every way imaginable.
