Smart cushion reads your vitals, nags you not to slouch or stress
There are fitness trackers that help monitor your pulse and assess your health, but most of them require you to move around with an awkward thing strapped to your wrist or chest. The Darma smart cushion, however, only requires that you sit on it. Utilizing thin 1mm sensors that can detect even the tiniest body movements, the Darma will communicate your heart rate, respiratory patterns and even your sitting posture to an accompanying iOS app via Bluetooth 4.0. One of Darma's creators, Dr. Junhao Hu, tells us at a recent HAXLR8R event that the idea behind the Darma is that sitting for long periods of time is bad for your health, especially when it comes to poor posture and back problems. Additionally, working in an office environment can lead to high stress levels. Using the Darma cushion with the app, however, will hopefully resolve some of that.
