Inspiration

Inspired by our bad posture

What it does

Fixes the user's posture by activating buzzers placed on the wearable strap whenever a user has bad posture (leans too far right, left, forwards, or backwards)

How we built it

NodeMCU, Gyroscope, Flex Sensors, Buzzers -> all soldered on to a perf board

Challenges we ran into

Sending the data to blynk gave us a headache for a while until we decided to switch to the legacy app, which works much smoother

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Our product's practicality and ability to be expanded upon

What we learned

How flex sensors work and calculate data, working with bylnk

What's next for UpRight

Create a new clothing line of tech-inspired clothing that has sensors built into various parts of the fabric (basically, IOT-based clothing) -> could be used for working out and checking your heart rate, calories burned, etc, or for medical purposes, such as checking for heart attacks, blood-sugar level detectors, assistive clothing for people with arthritis,...
