Gadget UpRight will save the posture
Unfortunately, people, especially office workers and all those who lead a sedentary and sedentary lifestyle, are increasingly suffering from diseases of the spine. Many slouch and cannot keep their backs straight on their own, leading to scoliosis. In such cases, a unique gadget developed by the Swiss company UpRight will come to the rescue.
UpRight is a small gadget that is mounted in the lumbar lordosis area with a special sticky tape and allows you to maintain an even posture. Thanks to the built-in three-axis accelerometer and strain gauge sensor, the device determines the position of the body and with the help of a built-in vibration motor gives the user a signal if he began to slouch.
Through the Bluetooth 4.0 wireless interface with low power consumption, UpRight connects to a smartphone with a special application installed and transfers all data.
Up to five days of battery life, the device is provided by a built-in lithium-polymer battery. A microUSB port is provided for charging it.
The project is currently in the fundraising phase. The developers have already managed to collect more than 17 thousand dollars out of 70 thousand needed to start mass production. You can support the project and order a unique gadget for posture adjustment at the IndieGoGo site. The price of the question is $129 (pre-order price is much lower).
