MUMBAI, India, April 17 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641021701 A) filed by Saveetha Institute Of Medical And Technical Sciences, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on Feb. 24, for 'cervi track- a smart postural monitoring device for prevention of forward head and neck deviation.'
Inventor(s) include Faith Sajith; Dr. Veluri Rakesh; and Dr. Deepak Nallaswamy Veeraiyan.
The application for the patent was published on April 17, under issue no. 16/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "This invention relates to a wearable sensor system designed to monitor and correct postural deviations, specifically forward head posture and neck llexion commonly associated with "tech neck." The device integrates miniature ine11ial measurement units (!MUs), pressure sensors, and accelerometers within a lightweight, ergonomic housing that can be worn around the neck and It has a neck band-like pattern. By continuously tracking cervical spine alignment and head tilt angles, the system identifies deviations beyond a pre-set threshold. Real-time feedback is provided through haptic vibration, auditory ale11s, or mobile application notifications, encouraging corrective action before musculoskeletal strain occurs. The patent illustrates the features of this neck band for professionals, excessive computer use, and poor posture. It will stop incorrect neck postures. The device tl.u1her incorporates adaptive algorithms that learn individual postural pattems, enabling personalized calibration and predictive ale11s. Data collected can be stored and analyzed for long-term health monitoring, offering insights into posture trends and risk factors for chronic neck pain. The invention emphasizes preventive care by reducing the incidence of cervical spine stress, enhancing workplace ergonomics, and promoting healthier device usage habits. Compact design, low power consumption, and wireless connectivity ensure user comf011 and seamless integration into daily routines. This sma11 postural monitoring device provides an innovative solution for mitigating forward head and neck deviation, thereby improving musculoskeletal health and overall, well-being."
