Precise Posture Correctors

The UpRight Posture Correction Device Detects Bends in Your Lower Back

— May 22, 2014 — Lifestyle
'UpRight is an ingenious posture correction device that sticks to your lower back and delivers a gentle vibration when you begin to slouch. The device consists of a small silicone stick that is placed over the lower spine via adhesive strip. Measuring 11 x 3.5 x 1.5 cm, the UpRight has a built-in accelerometer and 'strain sensor' which detect harmful spinal bends.

Users must first calibrate UpRight to inform it as to their correct body posture. The strain sensor then measures the UpRight's position and the position of the spine. By combining this with data from the accelerometer, UpRight can give users feedback on their posture, vibrating when they need a reminder to sit or stand up straight.

The developers of this innovative posture correction device have turned to Indiegogo to try and raise funds for testing and production of the product.
Trend Themes
1. Smart Wearable Posture Correction - Opportunity for tech companies to create a smart wearable posture correction device that accurately detects any harmful spinal bends and delivers real-time feedback to users.
2. AI-powered Posture Correction - Opportunity for AI and machine learning companies to develop a device that learns the user's correct body posture and uses data analytics to provide feedback on how to improve their posture in the most effective manner.
3. Gamified Posture Correction - Opportunity for gaming and app developers to gamify posture correction, making it fun and interactive for users to correct their back posture with rewards and incentives.
Industry Implications
1. Healthtech - Opportunity for HealthTech companies to incorporate posture correction technology into health-related wearables for rehabilitation, physiotherapy, and chiropractic patients.
2. Fitness - Opportunity for fitness companies to incorporate posture correction technology into fitness wearables for individuals who wish to improve their health and wellness
3. Education - Opportunity for educational institutions and academic researchers to incorporate posture correction technology into research studies on the impact of posture on cognitive function and academic performance.
