Welcome to Episode 17 of the Inventor Spotlight Podcast, hosted by Samantha St. Raymond and powered by the Inventor Smart Community App and the National Inventor Club. In this episode, we meet Dr. Turner Osler, a trauma surgeon-turned-entrepreneur who’s rethinking how the world sits. As CEO and Founder of QOR360, Turner brings his medical background and passion for public health into the world of active seating.

About Turner Osler, MD Dr. Osler is an academic trauma surgeon turned research epidemiologist who has authored over 300 peer-reviewed medical papers and book chapters. After decades of sitting in conventional chairs, he set out to design healthier seating alternatives — a journey that led to the development of The Eccentric Bicylinder, the foundation of QOR360’s innovative products.

We explore two of his groundbreaking inventions:

• The Button Chair – A free, DIY tippy chair design for kids to help them focus, fidget, and feel confident in class
• The Foot Wave – A dynamic under-desk foot platform to increase movement, posture, and metabolic activity for adults who sit for long periods

What you'll learn: 

• The medical dangers of sitting still
• How fidgeting and movement boost metabolism and longevity
• How to support kids with ADHD using better design
• Why empowering schools with open-source furniture matters
• Turner’s call for partners to manufacture and distribute these solutions
