{SLIDE 1} AKRITI

Good morning respected judges and fellow innovators, we the Team NOVONEX from 1st year computer enggBefore we dive into
our project, we invite you to take a moment to assess your own posture. Are you si ng upright, shoulders back, and feet flat on
the floor? If not, you're not alone. Studies indicate that approximately 70.5% of individuals report musculoskeletal discomfort,
par cularly in the neck, lower back, and shoulders, o en due to poor posture [Link] u our project which is
"SmartPosture" - a solu on designed to help people maintain a healthy posture and prevent the long term problems caused by
poor body alignment Our theme is Open Innova on for Social Well-being and Healthcare, and we believe posture correc on is a
crucial, yet overlooked, health issue.

{SLIDE 2} AKRITI

Let me give you an overview of our idea. We call it SmartPosture — a simple but powerful wearable device that helps people
maintain healthy posture. It uses a flex sensor placed along the back to measure spine curvature, an Arduino Uno to process the
data, and a 3.5-inch TFT display to show posture status in real me. If the user slouches for more than a few seconds, the
vibra on motor gently alerts them to sit upright again. according to WHO In 2020, around 619 million people globally were
affected by low back pain — about 1 in 13 people. Poor posture is one of the most common but ignored causes of back pain,
fa gue, and reduced efficiency. By giving affordable, real- me feedback, our device promotes preven ve healthcare and helps
people build healthy habits before serious problems develop.

{SLIDE 3,4} RITESH

slide 3,4 about demo Technically we follow a simple loop: Detect → Process → Alert → Correct. Key details: we calibrate a
baseline at startup (user sits upright), we apply a moving-average filter to smooth noise, and we use a persistence window (e.g.,
>8 seconds) plus hysteresis so short movements don’t trigger false alerts. Thresholds are adjustable per user; future versions can
add an IMU for sensor fusion

{SLIDE 5} AAMAN

Our prototype, built with off-the-shelf parts at a cost of just ₹1,800–2,400, directly addresses these challenges. The main hurdles
are sensor placement variability, false alerts, and ensuring comfort across different body types — which we mi gate through
calibra on, adjustable thresholds, and lightweight design. Our primary users are students, office workers, and gamers — groups
most at risk of posture-related health issues. Research shows that 60% of students experience posture-related pain by the age of
20. 84% of office workers report musculoskeletal discomfort from long desk hours. Gamers o en sit for 8+ hours daily, pu ng
them at high risk of spinal problems. The benefits are clear: upright posture improves breathing efficiency by up to 30%, boos ng
comfort and energy; while correct posture reduces fa gue and back strain, improving focus and produc vity by nearly 20%. This
is preven ve healthcare — small, daily nudges that reduce long-term medical risks.

Your spine deserves the best line — so let’s stay aligned. Together, we can turn this prototype into a product that empowers
millions to live healthier, happier, and more produc ve lives.
