Technologies for Healthier Living
New health-tracking apps, devices, and platforms from the Health 2.0 conference.
The Lumoback, a Band-Aid-like sensor that is affixed to the back, could soon stand in for the legions of mothers commanding us to sit up straight. This wearable sensor monitors posture and sends vibrations to your lower back if you slouch. It connects wirelessly to a smart phone app that helps guide correct posture and tracks posture over time. It also connects users to other resources for a healthy back. The app won a competition for best health app at the Body Computing conference at the University of Southern California last week.
