Sitting On Your Brains


If someone says to you, “You’re sitting on your brains,” it may not be the insult you think it is. The person may be referring to the newly developed Darma smart cushion which is becoming the main topic of discussion in office environments around the country.

You are one of a few thousand to see it first. That’s a very low number considering the company hopes to sell millions later this summer. A few angel investors told me about Darma and then sure enough, I found, it on YouTube. Watch the video.

The Darma smart cushion is a fitness tracker. It’s not tied to you like a wrist, waste or headband. All you do is sit on it. Pretty nifty.

The Darma smart cushion is also built with 1mm sensors that detect your heart rate, respiratory patterns, and sitting posture. The information. Is communicated to an accompanying iOS app via Bluetooth 4.0.

Darma will also tell you to sit straight so you don’t create back problems. It will alert you when to stand up and stretch. This is the part I love the most: if Darma sees your stress levels are on the high side, it’ll advise you to take a break.

I’m going to buy Darma when it hits the shelves. I heard it is going to be around $178. Sitting on a smart cushion may be just what I need to remind me there is life after work.
