Project Description
The BackSmart is a wearable device designed to improve and maintain healthy posture using real-time angle monitoring through dual IMU sensors. The system features a calibration phase to define the user's optimal posture, with one sensor fixed at the lower back and the other at the upper back to track bending angles. During initial setup, users establish a "good position" by ensuring their shoulders touch a reference wall, aligning their posture properly. Future iterations may involve professional guidance to further refine this calibration.
