The device looks like a round pendant so it can be worn as one and will suit either formal or informal styles. Or with the help of EZ stick pads, it can be worn discretely under clothing. The iPosture can also be attached to bra straps.

The technology that powers the iPosture is WINS, or Wearable Intelligent NanoSensors where the microchips continually monitor the wearer’s posture. It uses a coin-sized battery. Operation is easy - just wear the device, stand up straight (or chose a sitting position) and push the only button it has to set the device for yourself. Hold the button for more than 3 seconds will pause it. Turn it off by taking it off.

The iPosture will soon be available for $100.
