SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MONITORING AND INFLUENCING BODY POSITION

摘要

Systems and methods are provided to monitor a user body position and/or influence a user to change and improve body position, without causing the user to wake up. A personal audio output communicator is adapted to be positioned in close proximity to an ear of the user for preventing the audio outputted by the personal audio output communicator from being audible to persons other than the user. A motion detector is adapted to attach to the user for generating a motion signal associated with a body position of the user. A stimulus provider is adapted to receive the motion signal from the motion detector and to compare a motion signal value representative of the motion signal to a preset motion value, the preset motion value being associated with an unwanted change in body position. In response to the comparison, the stimulus provider transmits a user-selected stimulus and/or voice command stimulus to the persona! audio output communicator for influencing the user to change body position.
