Prioritise your wellbeing with Druh
Druh encourages desk workers to prioritise their well-being through regular breaks from prolonged sitting. Inspired by Weiser's design principles, Druh employs subtle movements as nondisruptive alerts, fostering a balanced and healthier work routine.
Simple gestures for Interactions
Druh seamlessly blends into any work environment, ensuring it doesn't add to your cognitive load like reminders and notifications often do. Instead, it discreetly captures your attention with a gentle wave reminding you to move when you've been sitting motionless for a prolonged period.
Smart and Non Disruptive alerts
to reduce your cognitive load
In the age of digital detox and a growing need to disconnect from smart devices, Druh provides a smart and non-disruptive solution for users to remain mindful of their health. With its subtle waving motion reminiscent of a friend waving at you, Drug creates a mild visual disturbance that promotes a healthier lifestyle.
Encouraging movement during sedentary work
Unlike smartphones, notorious for being constant distractions, Druh has a clear purpose and singular function. It acts as a reliable notifier, offering timely alerts while seamlessly integrating into your workflow without causing disruption.
