Health Promoting, Seat Cover, Detection Cover, Notification
This project is making a cover for a chair. The cover would detect if someone is sitting on the chair and when someone has been sitting for too long it will notify the person.
First, it is needed to connect the chair to an app on your phone that would send notifications when a person has been sitting for too long. Then it would be possible to do more with the app like have easy practices that are good for the back and joints. Another idea was to have a little vibrate that would start when sitting for too long. Then an idea was to have a light and it would change color depending on how long you have been sitting for.
