A Personal Health Care Office Chair

Over the years, Medical Doctors and Researchers have reported that prolonged sitting as well as bad sitting postures can be a danger to human health such as chronic diseases attributed to rheumatic disorders as well as pains in muscle and connective tissues of tendons, joint capsules and ligaments. To address these issues, in this work, we propose a personal health care office chair which is developed using Internet of Things (IoT) Technology. The chair detects and monitors how long a person sits on the chair, as well as detects the sitting posture of the person. Warnings are signaled on the Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) as well as signed through sound from a buzzer. A Wi-Fi module is used to transmit the data to the internet for recording.
