Postural Education in School-Aged Populations: Development and Usability Evaluation of a Mobile Biofeedback App (EduBack)

EduBack is a usable and technically stable mobile app designed to support postural education through wearable sensors and real-time biofeedback. Its user-friendly interface and reliable data transmission make it well-suited for use in schools and educational programs targeting postural health. The app fills a gap in the mobile health field by offering a preventive, educational tool rather than a clinical one. Future research should explore its application in younger populations, integration into physical education curricula, and long-term effects on postural behavior and motor skill acquisition.

Abstract

EduBack is a usable and technically stable mobile app designed to support postural education through wearable sensors and real-time biofeedback. Its user-friendly interface and reliable data transmission make it well-suited for use in schools and educational programs targeting postural health. The app fills a gap in the mobile health field by offering a preventive, educational tool rather than a clinical one. Future research should explore its application in younger populations, integration into physical education curricula, and long-term effects on postural behavior and motor skill acquisition.
