Simply connect Dot Stand to your PC monitor. You can improve your posture while working without changing your work style or lifestyle.

As a result of conducting an effect verification at a general hospital in South Korea, it was confirmed that the angle of the subject's neck bone improved by approximately 8%.

In addition, it is reported that it is expected to improve or prevent chronic fatigue, headache, stiff shoulders / neck, and low back pain.

Conducted joint research with Sungkyunkwan University (a prestigious university in Korea) on the technology that is the predecessor of Dot Stand, and proved that this technology is effective in improving posture and reducing fatigue from the neck to the waist. it was done.

In addition, the research results were published in the world's largest peer-reviewed open access scientific journal.

The cause of bad posture is the shape memory of bad posture. With Dot Stand, you can remember good posture with zero effort!

Dot Stand just attaches to your PC monitor. Automatically measures your posture with a 3D sensor and a unique algorithm.

Encourage optimal posture with slow, smooth movements.

The monitor moves up and down at a maximum of 2 centimeters per minute. I don't mind the movement of the monitor at all!

Dot Stand's "while" posture improvement not only improves your posture but also enhances your private life.

For example, let's say a person with a hunchback or a straight neck spends 30 minutes out of their private time on weekdays exercising or stretching to loosen up their bodies.

If you use Dot Stand for a day, you can improve your posture during work, so you don't need 30 minutes of exercise or stretching that you used to do to loosen your body. You will have 30 minutes of private time.

If you use Dot Stand for a week, you will have 30 minutes of extra time every day, and you will have an extra day of private time!

In addition, the neck, shoulders, and lower back are refreshed with the effect of improving your posture every day!

About desk work (computer work) and posture

While working at your desk, you often find yourself hunched over when you're concentrating on your work. If your back is rounded, your chest muscles and arm muscles will remain stiff and rigid. Then, the muscles on the back side are stretched out, and it is difficult to move the shoulders and neck! And heavy! baffling! It will be in the state of. This is the mechanism of "stiffness".

In addition, eye strain, headache, ringing in the ears, dizziness, depression, and leaning forward during desk work are greatly involved.

About Dot Stand

When I used the Dot Stand, I was very surprised that the monitor really sticks out automatically! Lol When I was using the computer, I didn't notice the movement of the monitor at all, so I was able to concentrate perfectly on my work. After finishing work, when I checked it carefully, it was true that the monitor arm was stretched forward.

"Huh? When did it start sticking out!?"I was surprised. Lol It's a great point that it doesn't interfere with your concentration at work!

If it's an orthodontic appliance or method that requires you to change your lifestyle, it won't last long. On the other hand, Dot Stand allows you to maintain a good posture with zero effort unconsciously, so it is perfect for remembering good posture for a long time! It is a revolutionary posture corrector that has never existed before, and I highly recommend it! By all means, it is a device that I want people who have a lot of computer work to use regardless of whether they are at work or at home.

Dot Stand won the Innovation Award at CES2022 (the world's largest overseas exhibition of electronic equipment)!

Apart from that, the Dot Stand is a groundbreaking product that has won numerous awards in its development trajectory.

If you develop a cervical disc herniation due to bad posture or a straight neck for many years, you cannot avoid going to the hospital for several months. In addition, many of the diseases caused by lifestyle habits are not covered by insurance. Before falling into such a worst case, why not work on preventing and improving bad posture with Dot Stand?

The contents are high tech, but the installation is very easy!

① Place the base of Dot Stand on the desk.

② Connect the arm part of Dot Stand to the base.

(3) Connect the power cord to Dot Stand.

④Attach the fixing plate for Dot Stand to the VESA mount (there are 4 screw holes) on the back of your PC monitor.

Dot Stand can support PC monitors weighing up to 4kg (we do not recommend using monitors weighing over 4kg). For the weight of the PC monitor, please check the spec information of each PC monitor.

Recently, I think there are many people who take their laptops home and work at home or in cafes. However, working with a laptop for a long time can cause poor posture due to the structure of the laptop, and it can put a lot of strain on your neck, shoulders, and lower back.

Dot Stand is used by connecting to a PC monitor, so it cannot be directly connected to a laptop. However, if you turn your laptop into a desktop, you can use Dot Stand!

And the desktop is super easy!

Would you like to take this opportunity to turn your laptop into a desktop and use Dot Stand to get a healthy attitude?

Dot Stand recommends a desk depth of 50-90 centimeters. Even if the desk is too deep, the effect of improving posture will diminish, so we do not recommend it.

The depth of most desks is generally 60-70cm, so I think many customers will be able to use the Dot Stand without any problems.

Dot Stand supports company owners who care about the health and productivity of their employees!

We would like not only companies with excellent health and productivity management, but also wonderful managers who treat their important employees like family, to use Dot Stand on a company-by-company basis.

Q.Does it really have a posture correcting effect?

A, Although there are individual differences, when we verified the effect of Dot Stand at a general hospital overseas, the verification result showed that the angle of the subject's neck improved by 8% on average after one month. . In addition, the technology used in Dot Stand is a product that was born by applying the technology jointly researched in the laboratory of Sungkyunkwan University with Brian Hong, CEO of Dot Heal, through public-private partnership. has been proven in peer-reviewed studies to be effective in improving posture. (Reference: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32878184/)

Q.Can I immediately feel the effects of posture correction?

A.It may be difficult to feel the effect of correcting your posture immediately after you start using it, but I think you can feel the exhilaration of stretching on your neck and shoulders. It takes a long time to improve your posture. Dot Stand is a product that helps you maintain good posture for a long time, so the longer you use it, the more effective it will be. (The current collapsed posture and the distortion of the neck bone are also formed over a long period of time!)

Q, is it compatible with any monitor?

A, any monitor that weighs less than 4kg and has a VESA mount will work. Please refrain from using a monitor that greatly exceeds 4 kg, as Dot Stand may not work properly or may be damaged.

Q, does the monitor come with the set?

A, I'm sorry. Dot Stand does not come with a monitor (parts to be installed on the monitor, power adapter to connect, etc. are included).

Q, can I use it overseas?

A, the power adapter provided by Dot Stand Japan is intended for use in Japan. When using it overseas, you need to prepare a power adapter suitable for each country by yourself.

Q, won't you feel sick while using it?

A, 99% of the subjects answered that they "didn't even notice that the monitor was moving" when interviewed during the effect verification. In the rest of the answers, there was only "I noticed that the monitor moved", and there were no reports of feeling sick during use. Also, in reviews from users who have already used Dot Stand, there have been no reports of feeling sick or getting drunk.

Q, should I install two dot stands for dual (multi) displays?

A, we do not recommend using two DOT STANDs at the same time. If you are using dual (multi) displays, attach the dot stand to your main monitor. Dot stand for the main monitor and regular stand for the sub-monitor will provide sufficient posture correction effect.

Q, does it need care?

A, no special care is required.

Q, is it easy to install?

A, a manual that describes how to install is included, so please refer to that for details. It can be roughly divided into (1) installation on a desk and (2) installation on a monitor, but anyone can handle both as long as they can attach the screws correctly.

A, of course, we are preparing a plan for those who purchase 2 or more in the crowdfunding project.
