MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641042468 A) filed by Sri Sairam Engineering College, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on April 2, for 'analysis of spinal cord using sensor.'
Inventor(s) include Jaganaathan M; Aathith Michael Rithuin M; Gokul G; and V. A. Velvizhi.
The application for the patent was published on May 29, under issue no. 22/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The extended use of electronic devices, including smartphones and laptops, leads to back problems which develop through incorrect sitting habits. The created invention functions as a wearable device which monitors and corrects user body posture by detecting their incorrect postures and giving them instant feedback. The device uses an accelerometer sensor to track how much the user bends their upper body while it keeps track of their spinal position. The Arduino-based microcontroller system processes the sensed data by comparing the actual posture angle to the established ergonomic standards. The system creates an alert system which uses visual and audio and vibration signals to notify the user about their need to correct their body position when they maintain incorrect posture for too long. The device features a massage module which operates through a DC motor to deliver vibration therapy that helps users experience relief from lower back pain resulting from. continuous bad posture. The system enables users to practice proper posture techniques which will help them avoid developing spinal disorders that include lordosis and kyphosis and scoliosis. The proposed wearable device offers students and office workers and information technology professionals who work for extended periods in stationary positions a complete portable solution for preventive health care."
