1. Overall description of the service

Cuckoo (afterwards Service) is a service offered by Cuckoo Networks Oy. The service enables break exercise activity at workplaces via the internet.

4. The features of the Service – to the user

Alert
The service gives an alert in the browser when it’s time to take a break. The user can set three break alerts in the times he/she wants to receive a notification. When the alert goes on the user can also pass it and they don’t need to take a break right away.

The user can choose to limit the alerts at specific times if they don’t want to receive the alerts. There will be a calendar invite sent to the user about the break times and the user can choose to add those into their own calendar. In this case the user will receive alerts even if the Service is not open in the browser. The most common calendar providers, such as Google and Outlook, support the Service’s alert. The user can decide whether or not to save the break alerts in their calendar.

Break exercise videos
When the user receives an alert to take a break, the user can start a break by clicking the notification. The user can also start a video from the front page in the category of his/her choice. The user can also choose break exercise videos from different categories. The user collects points automatically after completing the video. If the video is not completed the user will not receive points. To move up one level user must collect three eggs/points.

One video lasts 2-3 minutes. The video consists of three different movements that are all shown on the video by models. There is music in the background that can be turned off. The Service has over 400 different videos. The exercises can be done anywhere without equipment.

A trained physiotherapist and osteopath has designed all the break exercises. The movements are designed for people who sit a lot at work. Movements are meant to prevent health issues caused by excessive sitting.

The videos don’t contain speech or text so the same videos work for all users regardless of their language settings (Finnish, Swedish or English). All videos work both on computer and mobile app.

Mindfulness-exercises
The Service also contains mindfulness-exercises that have been produced by educated mindfulness-coaches. Mindfulness-exercises are relaxing audios in which the aim is to focus on breathing. The exercises are 1-15 minutes length and the user can choose the length and the theme of the exercise.

The exercises are available in Finnish, English and Swedish. All videos work both on computer and mobile app.

The user also has a possibility to participate in the monthly raffle by collecting enough points during a month. The Service encourages to make changes in behavior and do small deeds. The maximum amount of eggs per day is 6. This makes it possible for everyone to move up the levels at the same pace and avoids excessive and unfair competition.

If a user doesn’t want to, they don’t need to participate in the raffle. The Service provider raffles monthly varied prizes offered by partners between everyone who participates in the raffle.
