Description

AI Posture Correction System for Customized Spinal Management and Method Using the Same The present invention relates to an AI posture correction system and a method for customized spinal care. More specifically, the invention relates to an AI posture correction system and a method thereof, wherein a computing device collects pressure data generated at a part in contact with the user's body while monitoring the user's posture in real time, performs AI analysis based on the collected data and monitoring results, and outputs AI-customized movements related to posture correction. In modern society, many people spend long hours sitting while living or working. If the sitting posture is incorrect, prolonged sitting can have a negative impact on the spine and musculoskeletal system, potentially leading to various health problems such as back pain, scoliosis, and cervical disc herniation. To prevent or alleviate these issues, many researchers and companies have been conducting studies on posture correction devices. Traditional posture correction devices have been provided in forms that attach to the user's body or force them to maintain a specific posture. However, these devices have disadvantages, such as being uncomfortable to wear or potentially restricting the user's daily life. Furthermore, some mechanical devices restrict user movement, which can cause long-term discomfort, and are often difficult for users to wear continuously. Therefore, the present invention aims to solve the problems of existing technology and propose a smart seat and a method that provide a more sophisticated and effective posture correction function. Domestic Patent Publication 10-2011-0117193, which serves as the basis, discloses "a method and apparatus for mechanically correcting posture."
