Wearable Technology

You know how your mom would always tell you to stop slouching? Or she’d casually mention that your spine would permanently curve if you didn’t sit up straight? You might have straightened up when she was looking but the second her back was turned, you went right back to slouching. Slouching and poor posture really does make back pain worse, yet I can’t say I’ve ever really focused that much on improving my posture until the Lumo Lift, a small fitness activity tracker that coaches you to have better posture, arrived at my door.  

For most of us with office jobs, we don’t get up out of our desks a lot. Worse yet, we experience a lot of stressful situations that can cause more harm than good to our bodies. Fortunately, there’s a new wearable upcoming that looks to provide all-natural stress relief through the simple act of better breathing. Meet Prana. It’s small, it’s new and it’s coming soon to Best Buy.

2015 brought a real shift to what wearable technology did for its users.

What does 2016 have in store and how does it look to improve your day to day life? Read on to find out more.
