iPosture Makes You Sit Up Straight, Even When You Don’t Want To
There was a time when slouching in front of your parents earned a quick clip around the ear followed by ‘Sit up straight boy!’ or something like that. Technology has now been developed to replace that parent, just without the slapping and character building put-downs. The annoyingly named iPosture looks like a coin and houses the Wearable Intelligent Nano-Sensor, a microchip that monitors your Quasimodo impressions and can tell when your posture deviates by as little as 3 degrees in the wrong direction. It is worn around the neck close to the chest, or can be clipped to a bra-strap or shirt. It is controlled by a single button and can be set up easily to cope with whatever stance you find comfortable - as long as it’s not slouching. And no, it will not go off everytime you bend down but only ‘emit a warning’ when its monitoring finds that your posture has been out of correct alignment for over 1 minute. You can even pause it or turn it off too, which is good, because some of you may be tempted to smash this £50 gadget off the wall more than once. Remember though, it’s only trying to ensure that you’ll move less like a crippled crab when you’re 80. More here.-Martin Lynch [Ubergizmo] gadget health news
