Ology with Active Touch: User Adjustment Video

Learn how to adjust your Ology height-adjustable worksurface with the Active Touch controller and pair to the Rise mobile app. Designed to remind you to change postures with Active Motion, it allows you to create a profile with preset desk heights and preferred intervals of sitting and standing. The Bluetooth-enabled controller seamlessly pairs with the Rise mobile app so you can take your presets with you and track your level of activity over time.

Tailored Ergonomics
ERGONOMICS TAILORED TO INDIVIDUAL NEEDS
Ology is available with an integrated rail that supports space division, lighting, power and worktools, which can all be customized to meet the specific needs and workstyles of the user.

An optional soft edge profile helps to significantly reduce unhealthy pressure on forearms, and reduce feelings of shoulder and neck fatigue.

Antimicrobial Protection
BIOLOGY TO BENEFIT WORKPLACE WELLBEING
We researched the most frequently touched surfaces on a desk and applied an optional antimicrobial protection on those areas. As a result, Ology offers the up/down controller and the soft edge profile with antimicrobial protection.

Take Control of Wellbeing in the Workplace
Every aspect of Ology has been designed to promote user movement and wellbeing, including two control options—Simple Touch and Active Touch.

Ology's Simple Touch control empowers users to effortlessly move the desk up or down without taking their eyes off their work, while Active Touch reminds workers to change posture with gentle desk motions.

Active Touch pairs seamlessly with the Rise app (available Winter 2018) allowing users to create a profile with preset heights and activity goals, and to track their level of activity over time.
