The system for improving posture and deep breathing may comprise: a sensor device; posture/breathing improvement software program, comprising one, both, or a combination of a posture improvement system interface and a breathing improvement system interface; and one or more user devices. The sensor device may be physically associated with a user and may communicate with the posture improvement software program. The sensor device may comprise: one or more sensors for monitoring positions and movements of the user. The system may calculate one or more optimum postural positions and breathing exercises for the user, based on data communicated by the sensor device and collected information about the user. The system may monitor a conformance of the user with the optimum postural positions and may display the conformance on the posture improvement system interface. The system may detect and notify the user of one or more non-conformances, such that a user is reminded to maintain at least one optimum postural position and periodically take deep breaths. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A system for improving posture and deep breathing, comprising: a sensor device; a posture and breathing improvement software program that is configured to run on one or more user devices; wherein said posture and breathing improvement software program comprises a breathing kinetic graphical user interface; wherein said breathing kinetic graphical user interface is displayed on said one or more user devices; wherein said breathing kinetic graphical user interface comprises an optimal breath inhale graphic and an actual dynamic kinetic breathing graphic; wherein said actual dynamic kinetic breathing graphic expands and contracts, such that a user is able to visually monitor diaphragmatic breathing; wherein said sensor device comprises one or more sensors; wherein said one or more sensors are configured to detect and measure one or more movements by said user to create a plurality of sensor data; wherein a detection, measurement, and transmission of said plurality of sensor data allows said one or more user devices to allow said user to monitor their diaphragmatic breathing; wherein said actual dynamic kinetic breathing graphic and said optimal breath inhale graphic are, respectively, a dilating dot and a circle; and wherein said optimal breath inhale graphic is an expansion goal for said actual dynamic kinetic breathing graphic. ### Claim 2 A system for improving posture and deep breathing, comprising: a sensor device; a posture and breathing improvement software program that is configured to run on one or more user devices; wherein said posture and breathing improvement software program comprises a breathing kinetic graphical user interface; wherein said breathing kinetic graphical user interface is displayed on said one or more user devices; wherein said breathing kinetic graphical user interface comprises an optimal breath inhale graphic and an actual dynamic kinetic breathing graphic; wherein said actual dynamic kinetic breathing graphic expands and contracts, such that a user is able to visually monitor diaphragmatic breathing; wherein said sensor device comprises one or more sensors; wherein said one or more sensors are configured to detect and measure one or more movements by said user to create a plurality of sensor data; and wherein said optimal breath inhale graphic is a dynamic kinetic circle that dilates and is a goal that said user tries to matingly follow via said actual dynamic kinetic breathing graphic. ### Claim 3 A system for improving posture and deep breathing, comprising: a sensor device; a posture and breathing improvement software program that is configured to run on one or more user devices; wherein said posture and breathing improvement software program comprises a breathing kinetic graphical user interface; wherein said breathing kinetic graphical user interface is displayed on said one or more user devices; wherein said breathing kinetic graphical user interface comprises an optimal breath inhale graphic and an actual dynamic kinetic breathing graphic; wherein said actual dynamic kinetic breathing graphic expands and contracts, such that a user is able to visually monitor diaphragmatic breathing; wherein said sensor device comprises one or more sensors; wherein said one or more sensors are configured to detect and measure one or more movements by said user to create a plurality of sensor data; and wherein said housing comprises a copper coil, wherein said copper coil is configured to allow said sensor device to be wirelessly recharged. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The system of claim 3, wherein said copper coil is configured to a) shield said user from electromagnetic radiation generated by said sensor device and b) direct wireless communications away from said user. ### Claim 5 A system for improving posture and deep breathing, comprising: a sensor device; a posture and breathing improvement software program that is configured to run on one or more user devices; wherein said posture and breathing improvement software program comprises a breathing kinetic graphical user interface; wherein said breathing kinetic graphical user interface is displayed on said one or more user devices; wherein said breathing kinetic graphical user interface comprises an optimal breath inhale graphic and an actual dynamic kinetic breathing graphic; wherein said actual dynamic kinetic breathing graphic expands and contracts, such that a user is able to visually monitor diaphragmatic breathing; wherein said sensor device comprises one or more sensors; wherein said one or more sensors are configured to detect and measure one or more movements by said user to create a plurality of sensor data; wherein said posture and breathing improvement software program further comprises a posture improvement system interface; wherein said posture improvement system interface is displayed to said user on said one or more user devices; wherein said posture improvement software program is configured to collect information about said user; wherein said posture and breathing improvement software program calculates one or more optimum postural positions for said user, based on data communicated by said sensor device and said collected information about said user. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The system of claim 5, wherein said posture and breathing improvement software program monitors a conformance of said user with at least one of said one or more optimum postural positions; wherein said posture improvement system interface is configured to display said conformance; and wherein said posture and breathing improvement software program detects and notifies said user of one or more non-conformances, such that a user is reminded to maintain said at least one of said one or more optimum postural positions. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The system of claim 6, wherein said displaying of said conformance of said user with at least one of said one or more optimum postural positions is illustrated via a pictograph target and a target ball. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The system of claim 7, wherein said posture target ball is substantially within a center of said target when said user is in said conformance with said at least one of said one or more optimum postural positions. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The system of claim 8, wherein when said user fails to maintain said at least one of said one or more optimum postural positions, said posture target ball is not substantially within said center of said target and said posture improvement system interface notifies said user of said one or more non-conformances. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The system of claim 9, wherein when said user fails to maintain said at least one of said one or more optimum postural positions, said user device is substantially disabled until said user corrects said non-conformance. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The system of claim 10, wherein said sensor device further comprises a memory unit;
