Aim: Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) have been observed commonly in office workers with the development of technology. These problems affect the quality of life for individuals and also productivity in the workplace. The aim of this study is to design an application in which the anthropometric compatibility of office furniture is evaluated and individualized planned posture exercise training is included. Material and Method: The designed application consists of 4 modules. An application has been designed to classify the compatibility and incompatibilities in the first and second modules. The third and fourth modules are designed for personalized exercise definition and follow-up. Results: Within the scope of the application, 4 modules were combined in a single application. The modules that evaluate the anthropometric suitability of office furniture and calculate the compatibility of office furniture; it is the first and second module. The third module contains the definition of the exercise. The fourth module includes the follow-up of the exercise program. Conclusion: It is obvious that the current designed application will provide innovation to work health. Based on our hypothesis, we think that the designed application will also be effective for health protection and promotion in office workers.
