Inspiration
Lots of programmers suffer from carpal tunnel, usually from typing with bad wrist posture. Carpal tunnel is very painful and costs money to treat. Using the Myo arm band we can detect when posture is incorrect and send a vibration to the arms, reminding the user to correct their posture.
What it does
The StressBand detects bad posture based on positioning and vibrates to tell the user to change it. In addition to this it also vibrates every hour to remind the user to take breaks.
How we built it
Myo Arm Band, Javascript
Challenges we ran into
Myo Arm Band is not as sensitive as we once thought, it was hard getting it to detect bad posture.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Finishing the project and going through medical papers to understand carpal tunnel completely
What's next for Myo StressBand
Maybe use it for piano wrist posture
