Innovative Office Furniture for Enhancing Employee Active Health

Abstract

With growing interest in employee health, the integration of Active Health into office furniture design has become a significant research focus. Office furniture, as a vital part of the workspace, increasingly incorporates intelligent technologies to address health, comfort, and efficiency. This paper reviews innovations in smart office furniture, highlighting how technologies like big data, IoT, and sensors enhance health functions and user experiences. Advancements in smart furniture not only support physical health but also alleviate mental fatigue and improve efficiency. Applications in health interventions include personalized management, automated fatigue relief, and intelligent interactions. Despite progress, challenges remain, such as inconsistent design standards and limited technology applications in China. Other regions have more standardized and established practices, and there is a need for further coordination of international standards. With continued technological advancements and integration of intelligent systems, smart office furniture is expected to play a crucial role in improving workplace efficiency and promoting employee well-being through real-time health monitoring, personalized interventions, and adaptive features. This study provides theoretical guidance for designing such furniture and offers insights for advancing healthy office environments.
