A leading research university in the field of life sciences.

Do healthier habits persist even after use?

The long-term scientific study by Kiel University uses a controlled study design to investigate how Isa influences the use of height-adjustable desks, sitting behaviour and musculoskeletal complaints. Several measurement time points and a subsequent follow-up phase are intended to show whether changes persist even after active use.

Proven to reduce health spending

Tested and found to be good: Ergonomics, movement exercises and sufficient drinking - a personal health coach. Ingenious!

Sukeevan Shanmugalingam
Occupational Safety Specialist, E.ON Energie Deutschland GmbH

The use of ISA at STRABAG makes a targeted contribution to promoting ergonomic working methods and supports our employees with individualised real-time impulses. From a wellbeing perspective, this is an innovative tool for sustainable prevention and increasing health awareness in the workplace.

Juliane Schenk, Patrick Esser & Hanna Geiger
Wellbeing Officer, STRABAG AG

Promoting employee health in an innovative, digital way - that suits our company and we have succeeded with Isa. We were also impressed by the reliable collaboration and the simple processes.

Michael Seitz
Human Resources Development, BBBank eG

Our employees greatly appreciate the valuable, innovative and data protection-compliant AI support provided by the health coach Isa. The digital companion ensures a healthier, ergonomic and more sustainable working day, despite very high screen time. Thanks to Isa, our employees use their height-adjustable desks much more. For us as an employer, this is a valuable and sustainable addition to the mandatory ergonomics training. Fully in line with the BGF nudging trend! We would like to thank the Deep Care team for their extremely customer-orientated cooperation.

Jürgen Geiger & Christin-Madeleine Braun
Occupational Health Management, German Pension Insurance Baden-Württemberg

An impressively effective tool for significantly more ergonomics at VDU workstations. When fully concentrating on the activity, it is a real help when the attention to one's own sitting posture is taken over by the Isa. This is clearly matched by the positive feedback from our employees. A valuable enrichment!

Dr. med. Gesine Büge
Specialist in occupational medicine, STILL GmbH

It works: Employees demonstrably move more, use their height-adjustable desks, sit more ergonomically or drink more. A great thing!

Lenz Magnus Hocher
Occupational health management, DB InfraGO AG

I like that it is plug & play, always present and not too intrusive.

Dr. Katrin Mahnke
Occupational Health, Safety and Environment, MAHLE International GmbH

We have already tried many things to motivate more movement during work. None of it has been as simple, efficient and low-threshold as Isa.

Dr. Michael Eppard
Senior Executive Manager, Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research

I particularly like the uncomplicated but effective targeted movement exercises that I can integrate into my working day thanks to Isa.

Dr. Karin Müller
Head of Department "People and Health", DEKRA

Works really well and motivates me to take care of my health.

Holger Mayr
Human Resources Expert, Vector Informatik GmbH

Well thought-out usage model! Thanks to "Isa on Demand", we can easily reach many employees and achieve a lasting effect on them.

Ralf Stehle
Head of Occupational Health Management, ebm-papst Mulfingen GmbH & Co. KG

Isa is super! It unobtrusively reminds us of what is often neglected in the daily work process. Mindfulness for the body and a healthy posture.

Petra Wolf
Occupational Health Management, ENTEGA AG

Uncomplicated and effective. A prime example of useful digitalisation.

Andreas Pesch
BGM Coordination Germany, Robert Bosch GmbH

I was surprised at how accurately Isa recognized a misalignment in my shoulders. It was only 2-3 cm. With targeted neck and shoulder exercises and slightly lowering the desk, my neck and shoulders now feel much better.

Dr Henri Hendrickx
Sr. Manager Medical Care, SABIC Netherlands

Flexible, location-independent and individual - Isa is in tune with the times and has a wide reach, rarely has an offer been booked up so quickly. Our employees are thrilled!
