Do you have back pain? You aren’t alone. Right now, more than 31 million Americans suffer from back pain. It’s the leading cause of disability worldwide and also the most common reason for missed work. Health experts say that as much as 80% of the population will have some kind of back problem in their lives.

The solution is simple: The TruPosture smart shirt. We designed it to help you maintain a healthy back posture and help reduce back pain. TruPosture is a nano-sensor enabled, comfort-fit smart shirt that’s packed with technology and features. TruPosture trains your back, resulting in improved posture that sticks.



With your support, TruPosture can help millions of people who suffer with back pain. We can tell the world about our smart shirt that features patented, nano-sensor technology and can track the alignment of the entire spine. You can help TruPosture help millions of people live without back pain, including yourself!

"TruPosture’s best asset is its software. The shirt pairs with an app to show users actual diagrams of their spine."WearableTech

"The Lumo Lift has only one sensor that is worn on a shirt lapel. The TruPosture shirt promises to be much more accurate and specific about the spine shape." - I4U News

"What's nice is that if you can't sync the device to your smartphone, it will prompt you independently by sending vibration feedback if your back is in a crooked position. If you want to pair it with your favorite fitness/health tracker you can do that as well." - Softpedia

"TruPosture is among several new products taking aim at the growing concerns about sedentary lifestyles." - The Chicago Tribune

"Very soon we will be able to monitor in real time our spine to detect and correct posture problems. No, not science fiction, but yet another brilliant idea from the pages of Indiegogo." - Tom's Hardware

"As someone whose spine is slowly beginning to morph into a banana, I need all the help I can get." - Gadgette


Yes it can. When wearing TruPosture it’s always monitoring how you’re standing, sitting, or exercising. And then it helps you correct it. How? Since the shirt fits like a compression shirt it doesn’t slide or flop around. That means it can sense the slightest movements in your spine – from your neck all of the way down to your pelvis. It can detect a ½ degree change in your posture. No other product can come close to this accuracy!

But your TruPosture shirt does more than measure the movement in your spine. It can help you correct it in real-time. As you wear the shirt, it can give you pinpoint vibration feedback in the exact area of your spine that’s not in the ideal posture. You’ll receive one pulse if you’re slouching too far forward, two pulses if you’re leaning too far back.

 
It’s an easy-to-use system that can have you standing, sitting and even exercising with perfect posture in no time. And that can eliminate your back pain.


You’ve never seen or worn a shirt like this. Just put it on and it’ll begin measuring your reference and correct your posture immediately. The sensors are so precise that they’re able to detect even slight changes in posture. Also, there are multiple modes for TruPosture – sitting, standing, stretch and custom. Each of these is designed to help give you perfect postures no matter what you’re doing. Also, as you wear it more and more throughout the day, you can increase the training difficulty level from beginner to intermediate to advanced.

The shirt itself is made of breathable, stretch material and designed to feel like a second skin. It’s also entirely machine-washable, so there’s no worry of damaging sensitive electronics.

TruPosture is also Bluetooth enabled, helping you visualize your posture and measure your progress via the free TruPosture app for Android, iPhone and Windows.

Precise analytics will let you know where you're having the greatest posture issues and how to be mindful of them.



 


The story of TruPosture starts with real back pain. Company founder Dan Ikoyan, an avid runner and mountain biker, found himself complaining of spinal pain. After several visits to the doctor and physical therapist, he was surprised to hear that the pain was simply due to bad posture. The challenge was to remember the "good posture" his physical therapist was recommending after he’d left the clinic. The experience lead him to the idea of a simple device that measures the curvature of the spine and helps maintain a good posture through feedback. Hence, the TruPosture smart shirt was born!

Dan set about receiving a patent on the technology and formed a team of like-minded entrepreneurial and creative spirits that would apply the technology and refine it to create the TruPosture shirt that is ready for the consumer. Dan and co-founder George Winston along with the rest of the team are now set on deploying the TruPosture shirt to help alleviate back pain for people around the world and to make good posture a habit for everyone.


For starters, by contributing to our project, your support could get you a first-of-its-kind wearable technology that could improve your posture and reduce your back pain. But no matter how much you contribute, you’ll help make TruPosture available and affordable so everyone can benefit.


Think about that. By supporting TruPosture, you’re helping us help so many more people. Your support could also help us expand our production facilities, roll out more features sooner, and eventually expand this innovation into other applications that are equally beneficial. You’re helping us accelerate bringing TruPosture, and other products like it, to market.

Here are some specific things your contribution will be used for:

  • Rolling out and refining our production processes

  • Updating the printed circuit boards

  • Designing and completing the packaging

  • Updating the apps and running QA testing on all features

Without your help, we’d be years from hitting the market with this product. But, with your help, we could be just months away. Thanks for learning more about TruPosture, and we look forward to your support.


Question:  How can wearing the shirt regularly lead to reduced back pain?

Answer:  TruPosture helps by reminding you to correct your posture whenever your posture deviates from your pre-set ideal.  By engaging your core and dorsal muscles to correct your posture, you will strengthen them, as well as develop a good posture habit. Having a strong core and dorsal muscles takes the stress off your spine, the source of your pain.  We recommend routinely using the shirt for several weeks until the muscles strengthen, and healthy posture becomes a habit. After that we suggest you periodically use the shirt to reinforce the habit. In the long term, maintaining a good posture will keep those muscles strong, and keep the stress off your spine. TruPosture works by utilizing nano sensors embedded in the soft lycra shirt to track your spine alignment. Once you’ve set an optimal posture goal the sensors will keep track of when you deviate from your goal, reminding you with gentle vibrations and app alerts to improve your posture again.


Question:  How does it compare to sitting on an exercise ball?

Answer:  An exercise ball is effective but will not tell you if your posture is correct (the two curves of the spine). The first thing you notice when you sit at your desk with the TruPosture shirt on is that to maintain a correct posture you now have to adjust the environment around you to accommodate your healthy posture (chair, monitor, etc), whereas before you were sacrificing your posture to accommodate the “bad” environment around you.


Question
:  How can I select my size and shirt type?

Answer:  After the campaign is over we will contact you to ask for your preferred size and shirt type.
