SYSTEM AND APPARATUS FOR POSTURE AND BODY POSITION CORRECTION AND IMPROVEMENT THROUGH A COMPUTER-ASSISTED BIOFEEDBACK SYSTEM

摘要

A wireless, programmable biofeedback system, including one or more biofeedback sensor devices, a biofeedback controller device, and a wireless communication link that operationally connects the sensor biofeedback device(s) to the controller biofeedback device. The system may be programmed with desired posture setting, monitor a user's posture with the biofeedback sensor devices for deviations from the desired posture setting, and alert the user to help correct and train to achieve the desired posture setting. Biofeedback controller device may also be, or in addition to, a handheld computer device, such as a smartphone. Further, system may be used to track and graphically represent historical, instant, and predictive future posture records.

1. A personal kinesthetic awareness system for notifying and training a user, comprising:
at least one sensor biofeedback device, the at least one sensor biofeedback device comprising:
a first housing at least partially defining the bounds of the at least one sensor biofeedback device;a sensor biofeedback device supervisor located at least partially within the first housing;a first transceiver operationally connected to the sensor biofeedback device supervisor;a first processor operationally connected to the sensor biofeedback device supervisor;at least one detecting element operationally connected to the sensor biofeedback device supervisor;a first memory operationally connected to the sensor biofeedback device supervisor, wherein the first memory stores a first predetermined signal;a first electrical power source operationally connected to the sensor biofeedback device supervisor; andat least one attachment element operationally connected the first housing and attachable to at least one attachment location; at least one controller biofeedback device; and a wireless communication link that operationally connects the at least one sensor biofeedback device to the at least one controller biofeedback device to form a wireless communications system; wherein the at least one sensor biofeedback device detects changes in posture based on the at least one attachment location and operationally communicates the changes wirelessly to the at least one controller biofeedback device; wherein the at least one controller biofeedback device trains a user to achieve at least one body position; and wherein the at least one sensor biofeedback device and the at least one controller biofeedback device are not implanted in a user's body.
