If you want to improve posture without relying on technology, this wearable device makes any chair ergonomic. Currently fundraising through a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter, BetterBack stops you from slouching at your desk and restrains your body so that your posture is perfected. If a standing desk isn't an option and biometric wearables intimidates you, this is the perfect solution.
The device wraps around your torso and uses adjustable straps to connect to your knees. The BetterBack system stabilizes the pelvis to restore the spine's natural curves and corrects damage from seating that is not ergonomic. To improve posture, it's encouraged that wearers use it when seated and wear it for at least 15 minutes daily.
