Posture Alert System using Flex Sensors

Poor postures are a major concern for backaches and neck pains as well as other musculoskeletal disorders partly because of poor sitting posture and lack of breaks. Sitting for long periods without interruption with poor posture has been shown to cause postural backache. Poor posture can result in spinal and joint dysfunction as a result of muscle changes. This alert system would help in maintaining correct postures in people who spend much time in front of a computer or work for extended periods of time without break. Furthermore, the interface is quite user friendly with alerts provided with vibrating motors attached in a belt across the waist and a Pebble Smartwatch
