Abstract
The Equilibra is an iPod like device that is attached to the belt and would inform an individual when (s)he is assuming a potentially dangerous posture. This notification is possible through the use of both sensory and audio signals that are generated by the system. The user will be able to sense and hear their current state of posture in case of an inclination in any direction via earphones and vibrators that are attached to the belt. The auditory signal varies in tone depending on the user's direction and level of inclination. With the help of Equilibra, the person corrects his/her posture, thus preventing a potential hazardous fall.
