SitRight

Inspiration

Many students and office employees experience back pain due to sitting and slouching for long hours at a desk.

What it does

SITRIGHT is a smart sensor pad that can attach to any computer chair to track sitting habits and overall improve posture. The pressure sensors on the pad will vibrate to notify the user to adjust their posture or to take a scheduled break from sitting.

How I built it

Pressure sensors detect the weight distribution of the person sitting.

Challenges I ran into

Working with the math, and different body types.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

Building the circuit with minimal supplies.

What I learned

How to work with different sensors, boards, and other electronics.

What's next for SitRight

Conduct clinical trials to gather data.
