ABSTRACT
This project presents the development of a wearable device designed to monitor and correct body posture using an MPU6050 accelerometer and gyroscope sensor, combined with an SH1106 OLED display. The device aims to promote better ergonomic habits and reduce the risk of musculoskeletal disorders by providing real-time feedback on the user's posture. The MPU6050 sensor, placed vertically on the user's body, continuously measures accelerations along the x, y, and z axes. By setting specific threshold values for forward, backward, left, and right leanings, the device can detect deviations from optimal posture. When poor posture is detected, the device activates a vibration motor to alert the user and displays a corresponding visual warning on the OLED screen. The system is powered by an Arduino microcontroller, which processes sensor data and controls both the OLED display and the vibration motor. The OLED screen provides a clear and immediate visual indication of the user's posture status, including messages such as "Leaning Forward", "Leaning Backward", "Leaning Left", "Leaning Right", and "Good Posture", along with illustrative bitmap images. The wearable device is designed to be compact, lightweight, and user-friendly, making it suitable for daily use in various settings, such as at a desk, during exercise, or while performing everyday activities. By providing continuous feedback, the device helps users develop and maintain good posture habits, thereby potentially reducing the incidence of posture-related health issues.
