  • Patent number: 12125305
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided that capture a user's physically observable state, such as body position. A processor analyzes the image to determine if the user's state is unhealthy and, if so whether or not the user is in the unhealthy state for longer than a threshold period of time. If the user is in an unhealthy state, the processor signals an alerting component to energize a circuit. Accordingly, the user may be prompted to alter their physical state to a less unhealthy more healthful state.
