Low back pain among office workers is a significant issue, with previous solutions including posture monitoring systems using notifications or stimuli to encourage better posture, which often increased workload or were less effective. Recent studies suggest that physical objects prompting posture improvement may be more effective and less burdensome than screen-based interventions. This study developed a system using a physical object to enhance posture proactively and assessed its psychological, cognitive, and physical effects. The experimental results showed the proposed system’s effectiveness by improving posture awareness and encouraging better posture without impacting task performance.
