WorkSoma

Your body at work,in real numbers.

Your desk was built for an average person who does not exist. Tell us your height and how you work: we tell you how many centimetres to change on your chair, desk and screen.

2 minutes, no sign-up. You get the report by email.

Angles within what the standards recommend.

Knees and elbows close to 90° and your gaze slightly below the horizon. Every value shows which standard it comes from and whether it started from your own measurement or an estimate.

Why it is different

It starts from your body

Not from a table for the "average person". Two people of the same height can need different desks.

It works with what you have

Most desks do not adjust. We tell you how to compensate: how much to raise the seat, what footrest height, what riser to add.

It shows its working

Every value states how it was calculated, from which source, and whether it came from your measurement or an estimate.

Built by someone who sees the consequences every day

Created by Leonardo Monteiro, a manual therapist and acupuncturist with nearly 30 years of clinical practice and workplace ergonomics experience.

Frequently asked questions

Does this replace an assessment by a professional?

No. It is a self-assessment and workstation-fitting tool. A formal risk assessment is carried out by an occupational safety practitioner; a health problem is assessed by a healthcare professional.

Is it a medical device?

No. WorkSoma does not diagnose, treat or predict disease. It calculates workstation dimensions from body measurements and gives general ergonomics recommendations.

What happens to my data?

Measurements are calculated in your browser. When you generate the report, we keep your email, measurements and results to send you the report and keep your history (up to 24 months). We do not keep any health signs you tick. News by email only if you agree.

Do I need a tape measure?

Not to start: from your height we estimate the rest and show the margin of error. With a tape measure the result is more accurate.

Which standards is it based on?

On the principles of ISO 9241-5:2024 and applied anthropometry, and the measurement definitions of ISO 7250-1. EN 527-1 and EN 1335-1 are used to check whether furniture covers your measurements. The full list is on the Science page.

Two minutes and your height are enough to start.
