As the world is becoming more technology-based, people often tend to spend a lot of time sitting on their chairs work in their offices for several hours. Our design contributes to society by providing feedback on their poor postures and lowering the risk of back or neck injuries. Our design contributes to society and to human well-being. As it states, our design supports improving people’s poor posture as well as muscle strain which is an important problem in society today. Using a prototype chair, Ultrasonic sensors, EMG sensors, DHT11, a buzzer, ESP 32 and a microcontroller we will be designing our system. The system reads and analyses data from a user’s sitting posture with the given parts. The data will be fetched from the chair to the microcontroller and passed on to the visual display. The data will be analyzed and the system will determine the posture status if the posture is incorrect, the same will be notified by the feedback system to the user to fix the posture. The chair consists of an additional EMG sensor which will detect muscle strain on the user’s arms. This will not just help the users to maintain a proper body posture, but will also reduce back pain issues and arm strain in users.
