Joey He, our founder, was a dedicated workaholic whose long hours began to severely affect his health. Each day ended with severe wrist pain, a stiff neck, and chronic back and waist pain, impairing both his productivity and quality of life. After trying numerous market solutions, from ergonomic chairs to support cushions, and finding no relief, Joey's frustration grew. The turning point came during a casual team gathering where Joey learned his colleagues were similarly afflicted by their work environments. Motivated by this shared struggle, Joey led his team to challenge the status quo, setting an ambitious goal to transform their work environment within a year. With a deep dive into research and design, they developed a series of products that significantly alleviated their discomfort and enhanced work efficiency. The success in their office was profound—reducing complaints of pain and boosting productivity—which crystallized their responsibility to extend these benefits further. In 2021, Joey and his team launched ProtoArc, committed to helping individuals globally overcome physical discomfort from poor work environments and experience a more comfortable, healthier, and efficient work life.
