A new wearable called ALEX has been developed by NAMU which checks your posture and logs your progress. This personal posture coach sits on the nape of your neck and if you are in a poor position for more than a few minutes vibrates, nudging you to readjust yourself. Though Lumo BodyTech's Lumo Lift has a similar function, it clips on to your shirt instead, while NAMU says the back of your neck is more reliable. The company also claims that its technology can be used as an alternative to traditional massages or even physiotherapy.

This is a "smart" move by NAMU as they tap into a rising global healthcare issue of aching backs and shoulders from people increasingly hunching over devices.
