Backed by the Department of Health via the Small Business Research Initiative, the StepJockey system has been newly launched with the aim of tackling obesity and strengthening the hearts of office workers and commuters.
Stairs are rated according to how many calories can be burned by climbing them, after which free posters that display health information can be printed from the StepJockey website. Alternatively, sophisticated smart signs created in conjunction with award-winning sign manufacturer, Signbox, can be ordered.
