Posture Correction with Wearable Electronics
نویسنده
چکیده
Wearable electronics technology has become very popular in recent years, and it is advancing. An important application of this technology is in health monitoring. I present an application of wearable electronics for posture correction, utilizing inertial sensors attached to certain parts of clothing. When bad posture is detected, the wearer is notified. Posture data can be collected by a nearby node via bluetooth connection.
