We’ve even seen sensors designed for the desktop that emit a warning chime when you lean in too close to your monitor. Lumo BodyTech made inroads in this area with its Lumoback posture-correcting waistband in 2012, and more recently released Lumo Lift, a small device that you wear on your collar.
UpRight isn’t the first wearable device to tackle crooked vertebrae. Combining this with data from the accelerometer, UpRight is able to give feedback on the user’s posture, vibrating to remind them to sit up straight. The strain sensor then measures the bend of the device and, in effect, the position of the spine. The user first calibrates the device to indicate what is the correct posture for their body. Measuring 11 x 3.5 x 1.5 cm (4.3 x 1.3 x 0.6 in), it has a built-in accelerometer and specially-designed strain sensor to gauge when your spine begins to bend. UpRight is a small silicone stick that is placed over the lower spine using an adhesive strip. UpRight is a wearable device that sticks to your lower back, delivering a gentle vibration when that perfect posture slips into a harmful slouch. If you’ve ever sat in a classroom or worked in an office then you’ll know all about the importance of good posture, but maintaining a straight back and square shoulders can be a tough habit to form.
