Back pain problems? Not anymore with TruPosture

In case you experience serious back pains caused by having an incorrect body posture, then there is hope. A startup company has announced the sensor-filled T-shirt called TruPosture that has spine alignment tracking capability.

Most people who suffer from back pains these days are, in fact, affected by bad posture. This issue can cause headaches and abdominal pains. The new TruPosture will fix that up, giving you data and information about how bent your back is while reading your Excel document at work.

Having spine alignment tracking capability, the makers wanted to make sure that the material is soft, breathable and can fend off microbes via Lycra blend fabric.

Although the shirt won't force you to do anything, it will constantly remind you that your back is in a bad position and you need to straighten up. The wearable shirt will sync with your Android and iOS smartphone in order to give real-time notifications when you are off-center, as it measures spine alignment from the neck down to the pelvis.

What's nice is that, if you can't sync the device to your smartphone, it will prompt you independently by sending vibration feedback if your back is in a crooked position. If you want to pair it with your favorite fitness/health tracker, you can do that as well, and you can measure your back straightening performance while walking and standing.

The device can be found on Indiegogo, and customers can get it by pledging $99 (€87). Now is the right time to get it, as it will double in price if the funding goal of $50,000 (€44,377) is reached.
