IOT Enabled Wrong Posture Monitoring and Alert System

Abstract—Posture-related health issues are becoming increasingly prevalent due to extended periods ofsitting and poor ergonomic habits in modern work and learning environments. These conditionscontribute significantly to back pain, spinal misalignment, and musculoskeletal disorders.Traditional posture correction approaches—such as braces or physiotherapy—lack the abilityto provide real-time feedback, making them ineffective for timely intervention. This paperpresents an IoT-enabled wearable posture monitoring and alert system designed to detectincorrect postures using an MPU-6050 sensor integrated into a belt. The system distinguishesbetween full bending, half bending, and side tilting, and generates unique audio alerts for each,allowing users to correct posture instantly without visual input.
