Project Overview
According to CHINANEWS, there are more than 5 millions primary and secondary students have Scoliosis problem. Scoliosis becomes a ignorable problem in teenagers’ growth. People who study and works in front of a desk suffer from this a lot. In order to improve people’s health and prevent a more serious scoliosis, I did research about how scoliosis and other health poblems are caused by, and designed an app with a wearable and a desktop device. These products will together help people have a healthier schedule and remind people with better working habits.

Background
Spine is an important part that supports people’s weight and daily behaviors. There are lots of complex muscles around the spine to make it work. The core muscles there includes Rectus Abdominis, Obliques, Lower Back Muscles, Erector spinae. Their function is to support the balance of our spine. Here’s the diagram that shows the main muscles around the spine at the back. However, the spine will be under pressure if people have bad habits in long terms--scoliosis is one of a common problems.
Scoliosis
