In light of the increasing number of people leading sedentary lives and working from desks, bad sitting posture is a common problem that causes musculoskeletal problems and pain in individuals. In order to increase ergonomic health and reduce related health risks, the goal of this project is to build an automated system for the real-time identification and evaluation of sitting position. The suggested method analyses people's sitting position by using force sensors that are integrated into the chair. By gathering information on pressure distribution and seat contact, these sensors allow for the real-time evaluation of ergonomic alignment. The technology is able to classify sitting postures into predetermined categories, such as ergonomic and non-ergonomic, by extracting important parameters including spinal alignment, shoulder position, and seat contact. Furthermore, the system has a foam roller attachment onto the chair, intended to offer consumers a therapeutic massage. The foam roller is engaged to provide targeted treatment to the problematic regions when the system identifies extended durations of poor sitting position that may be connected with discomfort or back pain. Through posture monitoring, this dual functionality not only encourages good seating habits but also provides proactive steps to reduce discomfort and improve user comfort when sitting for extended periods of time. The system's ultimate goal is to increase productivity and well-being by decreasing the frequency of musculoskeletal problems linked to extended sitting by providing users with customized feedback and insights on their sitting patterns.
