Active chair activity tracking system

Abstract

A user's motion while seated on an active chair is monitored and the user's metabolic expenditures stemming from the motion are determined. Information associated with or derived from the measured motion and/or determined metabolic expenditures may be be displayed. Motion sensors and gyroscopes are configured to detect the motion of the active chair associated with active sitting while the user is sitting. Data from these sensors is used to determine sitting activity of the user. In addition, a sitter's posture may be monitored and alerts sent to encourage the siter to improve posture. A training aspect may also be included that assists sitters/users to improve posture generally by guiding them through a patterned series of movement designed to improve pelvic mobility and awareness.
