Posture Perfect - Posture Tracking Device (UCSD Med)

Self-training is vital when it comes to

repairing and avoiding the damage

associated with bad posture.While 

some chairs might enable you to sit

correctly our product will train you

to do it on your own. Wearing it only

a few minutes a day is sufficient to 

better your every day posture.

Objectives:

The primary objectives of this project are to design a wearable device that senses when the user is exhibiting poor posture and relay that to the user for the purpose of self-correction as well as present data about the user's posture to a mobile phone app. The locations of the sensors are to be placed along the T10 and L3 vertebrae of the spine.

How it works:                                                            

Posture Perfect is placed strategically                  

along the spine to detect even the                     

slightest of movements. It allows 

you to calibrate good posture and 

reminds you when you begin to slouch. 

Using your phones vibration as a 

reminder it will alert you whenever 

you begin to have bad posture. This

way you will develop the good habits

of sitting up straight that can last a 

lifetime.
