# Intelligent Standing Desks The Autonomous Desk Learns Your Sitting and Standing Habits By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2015-05-25 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/autonomous-desk References: [gizmag](http://www.gizmag.com/autonomous-standing-desk/37606/) & [autonomous.ai](https://www.autonomous.ai/) The Autonomous Desk is a desk that can be used for either sitting or standing, and will even notify you if you've been sitting or standing for way too long. The desk comes with a preset training plan that starts off by suggesting that users stand for 20-30 minutes at a time, before gradually increasing the suggested standing time each day. The desk can also learn users' sitting and standing habits and adjust suggestions accordingly. [Sitting for long periods of time](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lazy-concept) while working has been all but proven to be really bad for you, but standing for too long isn't good for you either. The difficulty with typical [standing desks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oakywood-standing-desk-pro) is knowing when you've been standing for too long. That's one question mark that the Autonomous Desk gets rid of. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.7/10 - Popularity: 82% | Activity: 52% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/furniture) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Intelligent Standing Desks:** The integration of AI technology into standing desks enables personalized user recommendations of the healthiest sitting and standing habits. - **Sedentary Behavior Tracking Technology:** The development of technology that tracks sedentary behavior can help users become more aware of unhealthy habits, and therefore promote a healthier lifestyle. - **Workplace Wellness Technology:** The integration of AI technology into workplace furniture can contribute to the prevention of chronic diseases and occupational health issues. ### Where This Applies - **Office Furniture Manufacturing:** Manufacturers could disrupt the market by developing new products that incorporate AI and IoT capabilities to promote healthy behaviors and improve ergonomics. - **Health and Fitness Technology:** Health and fitness tech companies have an opportunity to expand their product lines and collaborate with office furniture manufacturers in the development of intelligent standing desks. - **Occupational Health and Safety Consulting:** Consulting firms can provide valuable services by helping companies integrate wellness technology into their workplace and promote preventative health measures in the workplace. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Gesture Control Smart Desks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/autonomous-smartdesk-levitate.md) - [Connected Schedule Smart Desks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/autonomous-smartdesk-connect.md) - [Ergonomic Standing Desks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ergonomic-standing-desks.md) - [Voice Assistant Smart Desks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ergonomyx-smart-desk-20.md) - [Adjustable Laptop Desk Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sitstand-desk1.md) - [Dual-Section Standing Desks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dual-lift-desk.md) - [Wirelessly Adjustable Standing Desks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chakram-heightadjustable-standing-desk.md) - [Floor-Sit Desk Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uppeal-desk-lshaped.md) - [Multifunctional Standing Work Desks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boundary-desk-1.md)
