LUMOback


A phone app that reminds you to sit up straight...


The LUMOback sensor gently vibrates when you slouch, reminding you to sit and stand up straight. LUMOback tracks your movement wirelessly and provides feedback via the LUMOback mobile App. You can use the data that the app collects about you to change your habits, improving your posture over time.

Improving and maintaining proper spinal posture improves the symptoms of back pain. Better posture can also contribute to greater productivity and an improved sense of well being. Use LUMOback to track your posture as well as your daily activities: sitting, standing, walking, and even sleeping.

Poor posture is closely correlated with back pain.  Studies show that when proper training and consistent feedback is given, people are more successful at obtaining and maintaining better posture. LUMOback has developed a biomechanical model of posture for the lower back that promotes personalized optimal posture.
