I wonder how expensive it would be to build a patch that someone who suffered from excessive tension in a certain muscle could stick on, say, their lower back which would detect the level of tension. Then, using a bluetooth connection and an iPhone game, they could train themselves to become better at consciously relaxing that muscle.

- alexwilde 10y agoBluetooth 4.0 maxes out at around 25Mbps. Bluetooth 5.0 is supposed to double that speed. As far as latency, that should depend on how far away the devices are from each other and how quick the movement is from device to device. You would encounter the same issues with wifi, but 802.11 ac allows for 500Mbps for a single link and up to 1Gbps for multiple links.
- FungalRaincloud 10y agoThis is interesting to me. A lot of what I know about posture indicates that once you are conscious of your bad habits, fixing them isn't all that hard. Something like this could very easily give people a clear indication of what their bad posture is a result of, and pretty quickly help them out of it. The low tech version of this is posture taping [0], which works, but is probably a considerably less attractive option to most people, and certainly less targeted.
