Functional Exercise SmartDesk & Digital Coach
At Caliber, our engineers support our clients on a project-by-project basis to develop their products. As a result, we get to work with some of the most successful and innovative businesses in Aotearoa. On our site at EMEX, we’re excited to be showcasing some awesome products that we’ve been involved with, including Fisher & Paykel Technology’s June365—a functional exercise SmartDeck and Digital Coach.
Encouraging Physical Activity in the Workplace
An employee benefit program designed to support improved work performance, June365 enables employers to activate the 80% of employees who are not physically active enough1 and help to boost oxygen to the brain. For an individual, the improvement in cognitive function, greater focus and clarity, ability to manage stress and collaborate better with colleagues as well as over-time improvement to physical fitness is a more targeted and focused way to address and support employee wellbeing. For business, the operational efficiency and extensive impact beyond just wellbeing improvement delivers greater tangible benefit.
Designed to motivate, coach and support, June the digital coach provides personalised workouts for individuals. With real-time feedback on exercise form and technique, June uses the SmartDeck to delivers adaptive resistance, and workouts designed to boost work performance.
Built to be adapt to your lifestyle and used from the comfort of home, the SmartDeck incorporates sensing technology onboard that analyses movement in real time—so it’s like having a gym and personal trainer on-demand beside you every step of the way.
Caliber’s Involvement
Fisher & Paykel developed a prototype for user testing; functionally similar to the desired final product but needing refinement for mass production. That’s where Caliber stepped in—developing a mass production version of the SmartDeck over the last six months, using processes, technologies, and designs that are appropriate for volume production.
On the Market Late 2022
June365 is due to hit the market later this year, at which time we’ll be able to talk a bit more about the design of the internals. For now, that’s top secret but one not to be missed! Learn more about June365 here.
