Wearable posture advisory system
First Claim
1. A method for formulating a wearable posture advisory system, the method comprising:
- retrieving a three-dimensional (3-D) system model indicating one or more sensors that are arranged to help determine a posture of a user of the wearable posture advisory system and one or more actuators that are arranged to help instruct the user to adjust the posture, wherein the 3-D system model is generated based on a 3-D body model of at least a part of a body of the user and the 3-D body model is obtained via scanning at least the part of the body of the user using a 3-D scanner, wherein the 3-D body model includes a mesh defining a plurality of cells on the 3-D body model with each cell being a region on the 3-D body model that is identified by one or more coordinates, wherein at least one of the cells indicates a location for one of the actuators or sensors of the 3-D system model; and
manufacturing the wearable posture advisory system using the 3-D system model, wherein the wearable posture advisory system includes the one or more sensors and the one or more actuators indicated in the 3-D system model and includes said one of the actuators or sensors based upon said location.

Abstract
In one aspect, a method for formulating a wearable posture advisory system will be described. A three dimensional body model of at least a part of a body of a user is obtained. A model for 3D printing a wearable posture advisory system is generated based on the 3D body model. The system model models one or more sensors that are arranged to help determine a posture of a user and one or more actuators that are arranged to help instruct the user to adjust his or her posture. The system model is provided to a 3D printer so that the 3D printer can print the wearable posture advisory system. Various embodiments relate to devices, arrangements and executable computer code that are associated with the above method.
