Promoting employee health in an innovative, digital way - that suits our company and we have succeeded with Isa. We were also impressed by the reliable collaboration and the simple processes.

Our employees greatly appreciate the valuable, innovative and data protection-compliant AI support provided by the health coach Isa. The digital companion ensures a healthier, ergonomic and more sustainable working day, despite very high screen time. Thanks to Isa, our employees use their height-adjustable desks much more. For us as an employer, this is a valuable and sustainable addition to the mandatory ergonomics training. Fully in line with the health promotin nudging trend! We would like to thank the Deep Care team for their extremely customer-orientated cooperation.

Isa is an impressively effective tool for improving ergonomics at computer workstations. When employees are fully focused on their work, Isa takes over the task of monitoring posture which is a real help. This is clearly reflected in the very positive feedback from our teams. A truly valuable addition.

Dr. med. Gesine Büge
Specialist in occupational medicine, STILL GmbH

It works: Employees demonstrably move more, use their height-adjustable desks, sit more ergonomically or drink more. A great thing!

Lenz Magnus Hocher
Workplace Wellbeing, DB InfraGO AG

I like that it is plug & play, always present and not too intrusive.

Dr. Katrin Mahnke
Health, Safety & Environment (HSE), MAHLE International GmbH

We have already tried many things to motivate more movement during work. None of it has been as simple, efficient and low-threshold as Isa.

Dr. Michael Eppard
Senior Executive Manager, Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research

I particularly like the uncomplicated but effective targeted movement exercises that I can integrate into my working day thanks to Isa.

Dr. Karin Müller

Isa is great! It unobtrusively reminds us of what is often neglected in the daily work process. Mindfulness for the body and a healthy posture.

Petra Wolf
Workplace Wellbeing, ENTEGA AG

Uncomplicated and effective. A prime example of useful digitalisation.

Andreas Pesch
Wellbeing Coordination Germany, Robert Bosch GmbH

I was surprised at how accurately Isa recognized a misalignment in my shoulders. It was only 2-3 cm. With targeted neck and shoulder exercises and slightly lowering the desk, my neck and shoulders now feel much better.

Dr. Henri Hendrickx
Sr. Manager Medical Care, SABIC Niederlande

Flexible, location-independent and individual - Isa is in tune with the times and has a wide reach, rarely has an offer been booked up so quickly. Our employees are thrilled!
