Supporting student wellbeing, focus, and academic success
Health and Learning Thrive Together
Students spend long hours immersed in study, often at the expense of their health. Prolonged sitting and limited daily movement are driving a rise in neck, back, and shoulder pain. More than 40 % of undergraduates report neck pain each year, and up to 46 % experience discomfort in the lower back or shoulders. Among medical students, the numbers are even higher—around 70 % experience musculoskeletal pain within a 12-month period. These problems build slowly through sedentary study habits, undermining energy, focus, and long-term well-being.
Across offices, home workspaces, and university study environments, long hours of sitting create the same challenges: rising musculoskeletal strain, stiffness, fatigue, and reduced focus. eMove addresses these shared risks with guided 5-minute movement sessions designed by experienced movement specialists to counteract the effects of sedentary routines. By integrating these science-based breaks directly into Microsoft Outlook, eMove makes healthy activity effortless and accessible in any setting. Available as a Microsoft Marketplace Outlook add-in, it can be deployed and managed through existing Microsoft 365 tools, supporting better posture, energy, and wellbeing without interrupting work or study workflows.

Transform Long Study Days into Healthier Ones
University students sit for more than seven hours a day on average, with total sedentary time often reaching 9–10 hours. This level of inactivity places continuous strain on the musculoskeletal system and contributes to the gradual development of chronic health issues. eMove integrates regular movement breaks directly into the study day, offering students a simple way to stay active without interrupting their workflow. By embedding short, guided sessions into daily routines, eMove helps students protect their health, sharpen concentration, and build sustainable habits that support both learning and long-term well-being.
eMove is available as an Outlook add-in through Microsoft Marketplace (AppSource) and can be purchased directly to your organisation’s Microsoft account.
eMove uses Outlook’s built-in calendar and reminder system, treating each movement break like a standard meeting so it fits seamlessly into existing workflows.
The Marketplace listing provides access to the complete eMove solution, including the full movement video library, guided workplace sessions, calendar integration, and automated reminders. Once purchased via Microsoft Marketplace, eMove can be deployed to users through Microsoft 365 and managed using existing admin tools. No separate licensing system, additional IT security validation, or external purchase process is required.
Designed for modern work and study environments, eMove supports offices, home workspaces, and university settings alike. Long hours of sitting create similar challenges across these contexts, and eMove addresses them through short, guided 5-minute movement sessions created by experienced movement professionals. By integrating directly into Outlook, healthy movement becomes easy to access and simple to maintain as part of the daily routine.
