One of the most prevalent issues in today's society consists of back pains. Nowadays, people tend to spend more and more time sitting, mostly in an incorrect position. The objective of our research is a solution for this problem by involving a smart chair based on IoT paradigm. The chair has sensors embedded which detect the user's position and flags whenever it becomes an incorrect one. The system allows us to gather real time data and then to determine patterns for each user.
