1. The device was designed to manage back pain.
2. The prototype chair is a combination of interaction design, gaming technology, data analysis and health measurement.
3. It will tell the user whether they are sitting properly, remind the user when it is time to move around and will send correspondence via texts and emails about how the user’s spine is feeling that day. This is to ensure the sofa will adjust accordingly depending on the feedback.
4. The chair has approximately 80 pressure sensors and a backrest detecting the different load from a person’s back and legs when they sit.
