SitRight

SitRight is a smart posture correction system designed to combat the growing issue of poor sitting habits, especially in remote work environments. The device uses strain gauge sensors mounted on a chair to monitor back pressure and connect to a mobile interface via Bluetooth. Users receive real-time feedback, posture stats, and personalized suggestions to improve their sitting behavior—making posture correction more passive, intuitive, and comfortable than traditional wearable devices.

This project aimed to address the discomfort and low adoption rates of wearable posture correctors. By shifting the solution to a chair-mounted, sensor-driven system with thoughtful digital integration, I created a user-friendly experience that encourages healthy habits without disrupting daily routines. The process emphasized the value of ergonomics research and user feedback, and showed how unobtrusive hardware paired with responsive UI can change behavior. With further refinement and real-world testing, SitRight has potential to scale across office and home settings.
