Sitting all day is bad for our health - excessive sitting is linked with obesity, heart problems, diabetes and some cancers. And traditional standing desks are ineffective, because when we get busy, we forget to stand. 

Aspirus is a revolutionary smart standing workstation that fits on your existing desk. Press one button and it rises to your height, sitting or standing. Turn on the app to set sit-stand goals and reminders. Track your real-time data and keep yourself motivated. 

Improve your health, reduce back pain and stay in shape. With one simple step.

"Aspirus might be the most technological standing desk yetTech.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.Tech In Asia

"The Aspirus smart workstation can save you a trip to the chiropractor" e27

"Aspirus is a smart standing workstation that is automated, customisable and offers healthcare motivation." The Straits Times

Experts have recommended we stand for at least 2 hours a day - and work our way towards 4. But sitting is unavoidable, especially at work. Aspirus eases you into a healthier routine - without requiring you to change a beat. 

Aspirus is a sleek and smart adjustable workstation packed with features you'd expect in standing desks costing $2000 or more.  

With Aspirus, moving between sitting and standing couldn't be easier. Press one button and it automatically elevates to your pre-set height, sitting or standing

Use the Aspirus app to set daily stand goals, sit-stand reminders, and personalise Aspirus to your height. Get real-time reports with sit-stand data, trends, progress report, and more. Make Aspirus your personal health coach in the workplace.

We all know it's really important to move during our workday. But the reality is that we spend 77% of our time at work sitting. So we made it extremely easy for you to know when it's time to move - just heed the gentle glow of the Aspirus icon. 

Aspirus uses an innovative multi-sensor technology to accurately track when you are sitting or standing in front of the desk and excludes the time you are away. Stay motivated with real-time data, every single day. 

You need your laptop and phone within close reach. That's why we've included a sleek metal laptop and phone stand with every Aspirus. Cradle your favourite hardware in this efficient stand and free up space on your workspace.

Aspirus was designed for ergonomics. Every Aspirus comes with independent monitor screen adjustment. Adjust it once at set up, and always achieve the correct posture, sitting or standing. Back pain be gone. 

Aspirus provides the ultimate flexibility. It can be used on top of any table or bay window. And with modular mounts, switch between laptop, monitor or dual-monitors configurations, without ever changing your base unit.  

We all know how it feels to be interrupted when you are trying to meet a deadline. Aspirus has a built-in do-not-disturb light that you can turn on to indicate that you are busy and turn it off when you are available. Now let's get some real work done.  

Explore Aspirus from any angle with this 3D Interactive Model.

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 1: Ensure Aspirus fits your workspace


STEP 2: Decide whether you need an add-on attachment

All Aspirus comes with a VESA bracket to mount your monitor on. 

If you use a laptop or dual monitors and are purchasing: 

  • Aspirus Standard, please include a Laptop/Monitor Platform ($29) or Dual-Monitor Bar ($59).
  • Aspirus Ultimate, we will email you for your choice of add-on attachment after the campaign ends. 

Single Monitor 

Dual Monitors 

Laptop 

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) 

Aspirus Ultimate purchasers will receive a stainless steel panel, 2.65" x 2", laser-cut with their favourite inspirational quote or photograph. Place it on your Aspirus for daily inspiration. We will email you for your preferred design after the campaign. 

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. 

We are a team of entrepreneurs, industrial designers, electrical and firmware engineers who have experienced the very problems Aspirus was created to solve. We're thrilled to be working on a product that can change the way you work, for the better. 

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.
