Sedentary Sensor

CSEF · 2017 Electronics & Electromagnetics

Micah A. Boursier · Dublin High School, Dublin, Alameda County

Overview

Objectives/Goals Sitting too long everyday increases the risk of obesity, diabetes and heart disease. I developed a sensor that monitors how long someone is sitting. The user can set a time period at which they would like to be reminded to get up and move. The sensor communicates via Bluetooth to the users cell phone. Methods/Materials Arduino Lilypad Force Sensitive Resistor Sheet (Velostat) HC - 06 Bluetooth module Breadboard for prototyping Wires Aluminum Foil Computer/phone Seat materials, Fabric Results The monitor and program perform as intended. Conclusions/Discussion The seat will remind people to be more active and reduce sitting.

Summary statement

My project provides a simple and interactive way to remind people to be active and reduce sitting.

Help received

I researched, designed, built, and programmed the project myself.
