Wearable posture monitoring device and method thereof

A wearable posture monitoring device comprising:

• a first posture flex sensor positioned on a first shoulder strap of a harness forming a loop around a left shoulder of a user and a second posture flex sensor positioned on a second shoulder strap of the harness forming a loop around a right shoulder of the user to measure a first bend parameter associated with left and right shoulders of a user;
• at least one posture stretch sensor configured to change resistance according to an amount of stretch detected in a vertebral column to measure a second bend parameter associated with the vertebral column of the user, arranged in a V-shaped configuration with the first posture flex sensor and the second posture flex sensor such that the three sensors are generally coplanar;
• a control unit operatively coupled to the first posture flex sensor, the second posture flex sensor, and the at least one posture stretch sensor, the control unit being configured to:
• compare the first bend parameter with a first predefined reference value and the second bend parameter with a second predefined reference value to detect an improper bend in the left and right shoulders and in the vertebral column of the user;
• and
• display a visual indication, on a display interface associated with the posture monitoring device, to indicate the detected improper bend of one or more of the shoulders and vertebral column of the user.
