Researchers (in Australia) have developed a 'sitting pad' that sets off a loud beeping if employees don't move for long periods of time.

The device is intended to prevent serious health problems that may come from sitting for long periods of time on a daily basis.

Recent health reports have found that sitting down for large portions of the day is related to poor health and a reduced life expectancy, even for those people who might be considered physically active.

The sitting pad measures the time a worker spends sitting at their desk using a sensor and it also keeps track of when an employee sits down or stands up.

No word on when it'll be for sale in America.
