Spine and neck pain is the most common type of pain experienced by people whose work requires sitting for long hours during the day. Therefore, many of them resort to dealing with this matter in several ways, and these methods differ in their effectiveness and negative effects. In this paper, we designed a device to alert the user to the need to adjust their sitting and to generate an alert when they are sitting inappropriately. When trying this device, the results were promising and accurate in terms of the results of the sequential reading of the movement of the flexible sensor, which helps the system to give alerts at the right time in the event of curvature of the spine, in addition to the ease of use of this device.
