Robilis


Overview

Modern life requires a lot of sitting. Unfortunately, prolonged sitting is associated with diseases including back pain and diabetes. This is well represented by the 63M US adults (28%) with chronic back pain and increasing number of diabetic population. We believe chairs should be smart and protect us from diseases from sitting. At Robilis, we are realizing this vision with the patented smart chair, StandX. Join us!
