Abstract: The invention discloses an adaptive wearable device designed to monitor upper body posture and provide feedback when poor posture is detected. The device utilizes orientation sensing elements to analyze spinal alignment and alerts the user through non-invasive feedback such as vibration. The system adapts its sensitivity based on user behavior, thereby encouraging long-term postural habit correction. The device is lightweight, comfortable, and suitable for continuous daily use in rehabilitation and preventive care settings. The device detects postural deviations based on angular changes of the upper thoracic region and provides gentle vibrotactile feedback to promote postural correction and habit formation.
