While remembering clearly about the nagging from our mothers and grandmothers that we should stand up straight and shouldn't slouch, we have probably ignored the kind warnings.
Poor posture is not only about the appearance any more. It is growing as time goes.
Posture influences on much more than just looks. Good and poor posture actually affects organ function, digestion and breathing, as well as the occurrence of lower back pain.
The reason is related to the high tech products that people are using everyday now. As the need for PC is increasing, we are hunching over it all day long. This precedes the increase time that we are spending at a desk - in the office or at home. That’s one of the major factors leading to bad posture.
We spend more time than ever learning bad habits, but we’re too busy to undo them.
To combat poor posture, the iPosture have come into being. Barely 1 inch in diameter, the iPosture uses nano-sensor technology to learn a user’s correct posture, sense when the user slouches and signal with a gentle vibration to correct his or her posture.
Exercises alone aren’t enough to improve posture because we don’t realize how much we slouch throughout the day. The iPosture is designed to serve as a reminder – your mother, minus the nagging. It’s your personal posture coach.
The iPosture utilizes a sophisticated accelerometer to detect even small changes in posture. The device can be worn clipped to a bra strap or shirt or adhered directly to the skin. It’s designed to be worn approximately four hours per day for the first two to four weeks to ingrain good posture behavior. Once a user learns to correct him- or herself, he or she will continue to do so even when not wearing the device.
Good posture is important not just for the body, but for the mind. It’s the first thing people notice, your calling card. The iPosture is intended to help people become more aware and look and feel better, adding the energy and confidence we all need.
