CMG’s proprietary Healthy Motion Seating™ technology is an industry first, so it might not be clear to everyone why our solution is scientifically and intuitively “good for you”. Using the motors and controller already present in your seat, the algorithm redistributes your body weight through a series of small, subtle motions. In short, the seat fidgets for you. We preempt the tissue fatigue normally associated with prolonged or repetitive sitting.

It’s simple, motion matters. Healthy Motion Seating™ is a powerful, proactive solution for back fatigue and discomfort while providing the safety benefits of improved driver alertness.

CMG helps vehicle manufacturers and airlines develop motion algorithms that maximize the health and safety benefits for their customers. Seat back and cushion tilt motions are the primary focus when designing a motion algorithm. Depending on the seat’s features, the lumbar support, bolsters, massage, and even heating and cooling may become part of the experience.

Specific algorithms can be designed for various situations. Adjusting the time between motions or speed of specific motions can make an algorithm that soothes or invigorates. In the automotive and commercial vehicle sectors, there could be a highway and city-specific algorithm. In aerospace a soothing algorithm could be used when watching the in-flight entertainment and an invigorating algorithm could be triggered prior to the final descent to wake up travelers after a long flight.

Always conscious of safety, motion pauses during critical events. On the ground this includes braking and additional triggers like traction control or turning of the steering wheel can be added. In the air, this could be during taxi, take off, and landing.
