Know Your Posture : Real Time Posture Detection and Correction with Yoga and Exercise Recommendations.

Posture is a way in which a human holds his body so that there is less strain on muscles during any movement. Poor body posture may lead to many health issues which range from back pain to fatigue, this may rise up and affect our daily activities. The human ability to stay upright has been compromised over the past few years and health has been overshadowed by improper routine. Majority of the population spend most of their time working seated in one position. Monitoring sitting posture can give a better understanding of the underlying cause of lower back pain. Lower spinal back pain problem treatments cost billions of dollars every year. As a solution to this cause, a wearable posture detection system has been developed in the form of a belt which is connected to a mobile application. The sensors (i.e Flex sensor and Accelerometer) on the belt detect the bending angle and decide the wrong posture. When a wrong posture is detected a buzzer beeps in real time and at the same time a notification is sent to the mobile application connected to the device. The mobile application displays the users daily report and gives personalized yoga and exercise recommendations based on their daily report. This system is designed to identify incorrect posture in real time and give solutions to rectify it with yoga and exercise recommendations on a daily basis.
