Fit-Belt: Smart Posture & Health Monitoring

Abstract

To prevent the increasing number of concerns about posture-related health problems and particularly among students and ofce workers, the project will design and develop an all-encompassing, AI-based wearable device to correct posture. Sedentary posture commonly causes chronic back, neck and shoulder pain, which impacts on millions of people across the world. Classical posture aids like the Upright Go can also be expensive and proprietary, so they are not readily accessible. Our system flls this gap by incorporating real-time feedback on posture strain, and heart rate with wearable devices, such as Electromyography EMG and heart rate devices. Not only does this device monitor spine alignment but also gives individual recommendations on stress, posture, and injury prevention, which are benefcial in the long- term. The system aims to be a cost-effective, userfriendly solution for improving posture and overall well-being. Moreover, it features an AI-based platform enabling constant monitoring, feedback, and track of the progress, enabling the user to start maintaining the best posture and preventing injuries. The system will also provide the users with customized data analysis and provide corrective actions according to the real-time physiological feedback. This posture correcting solution will be highly accessible by targeting affordability, comfort and effectiveness to persons in many sedentary careers. By integrating machine learning algorithm, it is possible to make the system dynamic with unique feedback, which will improve over time and be personalized to each user, considering their individual posture patterns. Moreover, the mobile component of the system will make users monitor their progress in improving their posture and create a goal to keep them motivated and dedicated to developing their posture
