People sit for hours at work, which are now causing many physical complexities like obesity, diabetes, high cholesterol levels etc. Sitting in a bad posture contributes more to these problems. People actually don’t pay much attention on the body posture they are sitting in. Sitting in improper posture can cause adverse effects on one’s body. Bad posture can also cause headache, shoulder or back pain, gastrointestinal pains, etc. Bad posture can be improved by certain exercises, but finding time for the same is not always feasible.

So to constantly alert on your bad posture, a device synced with your Smartphone is an easier way out.
