An ARDUINO based and bluetooth enabled IOT project.
This is the final project for the IOT course at Christ University Faculty of Engineering for BTech in Computer Science. It was carried out by Basil George Poulose, Nikhil Niranjan and Karthik Krishna.
Posture Senseii is a IOT health tool that detects and monitors a person's posture.
Using this data, it determines whether a person is maintaining a proper posture for medical health maintainability.
If, at any point, the posture is detected to be wrong then the device alerts the user in the following ways :
- Visual alert in the form of red LED
- Audio alert in the form of a beep by the buzzer.
- Notification alerts on the phone.
Additionally the user can, at any time, access the Dabble application on his/her phone and view real-time values are acquired by the monitor.

Poor posture or “postural dysfunction” is defined as when our spine is being held in an unnatural position. The result of these unnatural positions are extra stress on our joints, muscles, and vertebrae. Most often, poor posture is something that we naturally do without even noticing. Anyone can suffer from poor posture and if you begin poor posture at a young age, is it likely you will carry it throughout your life. People are becoming more and more susceptible to posture issues because of the use of technology, forcing us to hold ourselves in unique positions to view a small screen. Unless you are actively working towards good posture, you are most likely making some type of posture mistake without even realizing it.
