About

EasyErgo grew out of research at the University of Skövde.

The platform comes from ergonomics research.

EasyErgo is a Swedish company that grew out of years of research in digital human modelling and the assessment of worker well being at the University of Skövde. The platform was built because the assessment of a workstation still takes a specialist, paper forms and time, while the methods of the published literature can be applied to a recording of the task.

Every method is implemented from its published source, the source and the calibration version are stored with every result, and the deviations and assumptions of the implementation are written on every method page. The company was built with the support of Vinnova and Chalmers Innovationskontor, and the occupational health provider Feelgood works with us on the assessments. The research continues in the project AIRGO (KK-stiftelsen) at the University of Skövde until 2029, which develops an AI based digital tool for ergonomics evaluations in industry together with Alfa Laval and Skandia Elevator.

The team has four people.
