SITGUARD addresses one of today’s most pervasive health challenges: the hidden risks of prolonged sitting and unconscious poor posture. Whether in workplaces, classrooms, or during long drives, habits such as slouching, leaning, or crossing legs gradually compromise spinal and muscular health.

Designed as an intelligent wearable device, SITGUARD integrates a high-precision 9-axis motion sensor with a dynamic airbag system. It continuously monitors posture in real time and, upon detecting misalignment, provides gentle, adaptive support to guide the body back to a neutral position. Unlike conventional posture monitors that only issue alerts, SITGUARD delivers active intervention, forming a closed-loop process of detection, correction, and recovery.

Its innovative soft-airbag structure ensures long-term comfort, while personalized settings allow users to define thresholds for intervention. With a built-in touchscreen and companion App, SITGUARD extends beyond hardware: it enables intuitive control, real-time tracking, and visualized posture reports, bridging digital health management with everyday usability.

Applicable across office, study, driving, and rehabilitation contexts, SITGUARD transforms posture care from passive reminders into a proactive, intelligent, and user-centered solution. By addressing both unconscious behaviors and modern sedentary lifestyles, it embodies not only technological innovation but also a commitment to preventive health and wellbeing.
