Sensor Throne: Improvement and Monitoring of Sitting Posture Through a Mobile Application

Within the framework of the Sensor Throne project, a smart chair is developed with the aim of monitoring and improving correct sitting posture. The system consists of two components: the hardware component which consists of a microcontroller mounted to an office chair, along with its peripherals (battery, sensors, Bluetooth module), while the software component consists of a mobile application. The microcontroller communicates with the application via Bluetooth using its own text-based protocol. The application provides an interactive interface for the user, where they can view their current posture, statistics related to sitting on the chair, and customize the application settings. The application is currently available in three languages, automatically selecting based on the language set on the phone. The user receives notifications in case of incorrect or prolonged sitting as well as low battery voltage of the microcontroller.
