Extended periods of sitting have been linked to serious health issues, often termed “new cancer.” Many people lack awareness of how long they have been seated and face challenges in monitoring and accurately tracking their health management.
These chairs would communicate with a central system that supports user-friendly mobile or web interfaces for viewing data and receiving notifications. To ensure accuracy, measures will be taken to prevent false readings by verifying the actual presence of a user rather than inanimate objects.
Features
- Sensors embedded to track sitting duration and weight.
- Analyses weight data to differentiate between users and objects.
- Accurate readings by confirming actual user presence.
- Actionable insights and alerts
- Analyse patterns from sitting durations and weight measurements.
Solutions:
To develop IoT-enabled chairs equipped with sensors to measure sitting duration and weight. These chairs would provide real-time data on these parameters and issue alerts to encourage users to move, thus preventing prolonged sedentary behaviour.
