The advent of the digital era has brought with it several posture-related problems associated with the cervical spine. This has been further exacerbated by the pandemic which kept scores working from home, under sitting conditions that may not be ideal. This is coupled with the fact that people use mobile phones a lot regardless of their locations and this hasn’t helped in keeping them safe from neck and shoulder pain.
Xiaomi Youpin has now launched a new product under crowdfunding dubbed HiPee Smart Health Neck Ring. The smart neck ring monitors and corrects the posture in real time 24 hours a day, and gets rid of the troubles of back pain.
Improper sitting posture and lowering your head on the table are often unconscious movements, which are difficult to correct subjectively. Smart neckbands help you correct wrong postures, allowing people who are troubled by hunchbacks or unattractive postures to know whether their postures are correct anytime and anywhere through reminders.
The HiPee Smart Health Neckband has independently developed an AI algorithm, which senses posture changes in front, back, left, and right 360°, real-time monitoring, reminding everyone to bend down unconsciously when they work and play with mobile phones.
In addition, the HiPee Smart Health Neckband also has somatosensory games, so that everyone can exercise while playing. Through the high-precision motion sensor located in the spine, it can recognize body movements, monitor the bending direction and tilt angle of the spine, and generate linkage in the game world. Virtual and reality are intertwined, allowing everyone to move their bodies while having fun.
It can also connect to the WeChat applet via Bluetooth, and can simultaneously record the number of wrong postures per day, whether the body ratio is normal, the time distribution of the hunchback, and the pressure on the spine, etc.
The neckband is priced at 299 yuan (~$47) but is on offer for 199 yuan (~$31) during the crowdfunding period.
