iPosture

Posted by Nadine Bells

There's a gadget for everything. Including your posture. Instead of having your mother poke you in the back every time you slouch, there's the iPosture, a fun device that alerts you when you start to slump. I kid you not.

How it works:

The secret of the iPosture is WINS TM, or Wearable Intelligent Nano-Sensor, a microchip that monitors stance several times every second. The iPosture is worn close to the skin of the chest and operates on a coin-size battery. It warns the user when detecting any deviation greater than just three degrees from the chosen posture that lasts longer than one minute. Specialied software filters spurious movements, which allows the iPosture to adapt to a variety of activities and body types. It can be worn clipped to the shirt or bra, as a necklace, or attached to the skin with special adhesive patches.

Check out the official site here. It also has posture exercises and lists more details behind this little gadget.

For a review, head on over to simply stated. Looks like there's an endorsement for the pricey iPosture (which will be available next month). I happen to believe that perfect posture is worth more than $99, so it may be the steal of the century. If you wear it, that is.
