Lumo back - User Manual

The LUMOback is a posture-monitoring device designed to help users improve their posture while sitting and standing. It consists of a sensor unit and an adjustable strap, which is worn around the waist. The device connects wirelessly to a companion app on an iPhone or iPad, providing real-time feedback and guidance on posture.

Function Description:

The primary function of the LUMOback is to detect and provide feedback on the user's posture. When worn, the sensor continuously monitors the curvature of the lower back. If the user slouches or adopts an unhealthy posture, the device provides a gentle vibration or notification through the app to remind them to correct their position. This immediate feedback helps users develop better postural habits over time. The device is intended to be worn directly on the skin for optimal performance, centered on the lower back, just above the hip bones.

The LUMOback system includes a mobile application that serves as the main interface for the user. This app, available for download, guides the user through the initial setup process, including pairing the device and calibrating it for individual use. The app also provides a visual representation of the user's posture, tracks progress over time, and offers tips and exercises to further improve posture. The goal is to make users more aware of their body's alignment and encourage them to maintain an upright and healthy posture throughout the day.

Usage Features:

Getting Started:

1. Download the App: Users begin by downloading the LUMOback app from the official website or app store.
2. Open and Follow Instructions: Once installed, the app guides users through the setup, including device pairing and initial calibration.
3. Daily Reminder: A removable sticker is provided to be placed in a visible location (e.g., on a mirror) to remind users to wear the LUMOback daily and consistently work on their posture.

Wearing the LUMOback:

1. Placement: The sensor unit should be placed centered on the lower back. For best results and accurate readings, it is recommended to wear the device directly on the skin.
2. Fastening: The strap is fastened around the waist, positioned just above the hip bones.
3. Adjusting: The strap should be adjusted to ensure the sensor fits snugly around the waist, preventing movement that could lead to inaccurate readings.

Posture Guidance:

Sitting Well with LUMOback:

1. Back in Chair: Users should sit all the way back in their chair, ensuring their back is supported.
2. Pelvic Tilt: Roll the pelvis slightly forward to sit on the "sit bones." It is helpful, but not required, to have knees positioned below the hips.
3. Upright Posture: Sit up straight, lift the chest, and then relax the shoulders. Users are advised to be careful not to over-arch their chest or back.

Standing Well with LUMOback:

1. Foot Placement: Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, distributing weight equally on both feet.
2. Head Alignment: Imagine the head being gently pulled straight up by a string, promoting an elongated spine.
3. Relaxation: Maintain a relaxed posture. Similar to sitting, users should be careful not to over-arch their chest or back.
