Intelligent Posture Detection System for Improved Ergonomics

This paper introduces a cost-effective smart posture detection system aimed at promoting ergonomic sitting habits and preventing musculoskeletal disorders. The system integrates ultrasonic sensors for backrest proximity measurement and load cells for seat weight distribution analysis. By analyzing these inputs, it identifies posture irregularities and provides real-time feedback for corrective action. Testing results demonstrate the system's reliability, achieving a detection accuracy of 99% across users with varying body types and postures. The proposed hybrid approach ensures simplicity, affordability, and scalability, making it a viable solution for homes, workplaces, and schools. This research contributes to the growing field of smart health monitoring systems, offering a practical alternative to traditional posture correction methods.
