Problem

• How much of a challenge is maintaining a healthy posture during long work or study hours?
  • Maintaining good posture during work is hard.
  • This causes back pain and other health issues.
  • People often forget to fix their posture or take breaks
• How to ensure your well-being and physical health during your daily tasks?

Solution

• A wearable sensor that monitors your back.
• The sensor vibrates gently to remind you to sit straight.
• Includes a timer for regular break reminders.
• Notifications and haptic alerts for events (e.g., poor posture, break time) are also available.
• A web app shows your posture data and daily progress on the dashboard.

Requirements

• Monitor Posture: The wearable node tracks the user's back angle.
• Easy Calibration: The user defines their "good posture" by pressing a button.
• Haptic Feedback: The node vibrates to alert the user about bad posture.
• Data History: The Raspberry Pi saves all posture data over time.
• Web Dashboard: The user can see their stats and progress on a simple web page.
• Break Reminders: The system includes a timer to suggest regular breaks.

Running Posture

Based on scientific evidence, we plan to develop a system for analyzing running posture and technique, focusing on torso, arms, and cadence. The goal is to create a practical foundation for real-time monitoring, using inertial sensors (IMU) positioned on the back and computer vision with MediaPipe Pose.
