- Abstract
- The project started out with professor Fredrik Nilsson
reaching out to the school on the behalf of a company
called Fixaspine. They were developing a product that
aims to improve the neck posture and were interested in
collaborating on improving the current iteration of their
prototype. I reached out and a collaboration was made
An initial meeting was conducted where it was concluded that usability, aesthetics and better information about

Knowledge about the subject was obtained throught
talking to physiotherapist Eva Ekesbo and conducting a
literary research. Extensive user testing with the current
prototype was done, including a phone interview with
a patient and several in-person user testing sessions
where observation and questions were asked.
With that information considerations to the design was
made and a new shape was developed and 3d printed.
The result is a posture sensing necklace with improved
ergonomics and usability. Accompanying the product is
packaging that communicates the intent of the product,
instructions that makes the product easy to use and
the Fixaspine app that adds statistics and additional
information about postural problems. (Less)
