Warning : This web application needs access to your camera.
While a person is seated in front of a laptop, this AI-based web-app will continuously record their video through a webcam. Our AI algorithm will then detect body postures, and the web app will notify the user if the detected body posture is unsatisfactory. The alert appears to be a blurring of the current window with an annoying sound, preventing the user from doing anything until he returns to the proper ergonomic posture.
Allow camera access to this webpage in order to use Fix-Posture.

Good posture is when your ears are aligned evenly over your shoulders. Your shoulders should be back and relaxed. This helps to align your spine, too. Good posture isn’t just about how you present yourself. Having poor posture can actually affect your physical and mental health. Better mood and energy. One of the best benefits of good posture is the way that you feel about yourself. Improving your posture can help you stay focused and more energized throughout the day. This can help improve your mood, too.
The complications of poor posture include back pain, spinal dysfunction, joint degeneration, rounded shoulders and a potbelly. Bad posture affects more than how you look. Slouching hurts your body by creating a curvature in your spine, which cuts off your nerve supply. This can lead to a number of health issues, as it limits your brain’s ability to community to the rest of your body. Bad posture can lead to upper body aches and pains, as well as a poorly functioning nervous system.
