The project

Project description.

Share this projectFacebookXLinkedIn
SITGUARD is an intelligent wearable posture correction device designed for people who spend long hours sitting. In workplaces, classrooms, or during long drives, individuals often develop poor sitting habits — including unconscious behaviors such as crossing legs, leaning to one side, or slouching — which, over time, can lead to spinal misalignment, muscle strain, and other health issues. Using a high-precision 9-axis motion sensor, SITGUARD continuously monitors the user’s posture in real time. When abnormal posture is detected, its dynamic airbag system instantly provides gentle, adaptive support to guide the body back to a neutral position.

Unlike conventional posture monitors that only alert the user, SITGUARD offers active intervention. It automatically adjusts airbag support based on user-defined tilt angles and pressure preferences, creating a closed-loop process from detection, to intervention, to recovery. Its innovative soft airbag design ensures long-term comfort, while built-in analytics generate visualized posture reports, making digital health management more intuitive and actionable.

Applicable in offices, education environments, long-haul driving, and rehabilitation, SITGUARD effectively corrects a wide range of poor postures — including unconscious leg crossing — and reduces the risk of spinal disorders. It transforms posture care from passive monitoring into an intelligent, proactive, wearable solution with strong market potential and user value.
