Posture Detection
Also known as: Posture Monitoring, Posture Recognition
The use of sensors or computer vision to identify and monitor a person's body posture in real time. In assistive technology, posture detection systems can use accelerometers, gyroscopes, or cameras to determine whether a user is sitting, standing, slouching, or hunching, and provide feedback or alerts to encourage postural correction. These systems are used in rehabilitation, ergonomics, and special education contexts to support individuals who may have difficulty maintaining awareness of their own posture.
