Fyt-02 Launches on Kickstarter The Smart Sensor That Turns Any Chair Into a Posture & Movement Track
The Californer/10347203

LONDON - Californer -- Adults now spend 9.5 to 11+ hours per day sitting, driving a silent epidemic of back pain, low energy, metabolic issues, and mental fatigue. Sedentary-related conditions cost the UK more than £7.4 billion annually, while poor mental health linked to sedentary work costs employers £45–51 billion per year.

Most existing solutions fail because they require constant behaviour change. Standing desks are underused, wearables see less than 50% sustained engagement after 12 months, and wellness apps rely on motivation that quickly fades.

Today, VRGO Ltd announces the launch of Fyt 02 on Kickstarter on 19 May 2026 at 1pm UK time — the first slim, sensor-powered device that transforms any chair into a passive wellness coach. No new furniture. No extra effort. No willpower required.

Fyt 02 uses patented pressure sensors and motion tracking to monitor posture, micro-movements, and pressure in real time. It delivers gentle haptic nudges and a daily "Sitness Score" through its companion desktop app, encouraging natural movement while you work. The system also tracks weight trends and offers a chair-based exercise library — all without disrupting focus or requiring users to change their routine.

"Standing desks and wearables treat sitting as the enemy," said Joe Ryan, Founder and CEO of VRGO Ltd. "We believe sitting itself can become healthy. Fyt turns passive desk time into active, measurable wellness — effortlessly. Your chair becomes your coach."
