NeckEase 頸智鬆

Don't let "turtle neck" steal your and your family's health!

Whether you're a young person constantly glued to your phone, an office worker spending long hours in front of a computer, or a senior citizen reading or watching TV—forward head posture (turtle neck) is a common enemy of modern life.

While NeckEase focuses specifically on seniors prone to falls, all age groups can benefit, as posture correction and neck stretching are essential daily health practices for everyone.

With age and the widespread use of electronic devices, many seniors face the serious challenge of "forward head posture (turtle neck)" due to prolonged poor posture. Research indicates that forward head posture leads to imbalances in the deep fascia of the neck, directly weakening the body's dynamic balance and significantly increasing the risk of falls. And falls are a fatal cause of severe fractures, disabilities, and even death in the elderly.

NeckEase "Neck Relaxation" – Protecting Your and Your Family's Health and Safety from the Root Cause

Instead of passively treating injuries after a fall, NeckEase advocates for addressing the root cause by cultivating correct posture in daily life and providing safe, personalized stretching guidance to prevent injury.

📱 Mobile App — AI Visual Posture Analysis

Utilizing your phone's front-facing camera and AI computer vision technology, it instantly detects your head posture without requiring any expensive equipment.

Four Core Functions for Comprehensive Neck Health Protection:

✅ Range of Motion Test: Precisely measures the angle of forward head posture and assesses its severity, allowing users to address postural risks and no longer ignore warning signs from their bodies.

✅ AI-Guided Stretching: Displays virtual joint pathways on the screen and compares the movements, guiding users step-by-step like a personal coach to stretch safely and correctly, preventing injuries from incorrect movements.

✅ Real-Time Monitoring and Reminders: Continuously monitors while reading or using electronic devices, issuing reminders when the head tilts forward, subtly helping to cultivate good posture habits.

✅ Historical Tracking: Completely records exercise data, allowing users to clearly understand their progress and increasing their motivation and sense of accomplishment for continued participation.

🔧 Open Source Bluetooth Hardware — neGuard (Optional Device)

To address the pain point of lack of support for families with elderly members living alone or caring for the elderly, NeckEase has simultaneously developed the neGuard, a wearable device that can operate independently offline. It accurately monitors head angle and ambient light, providing real-time vibration alerts and offering 24/7 protection without relying on a smartphone.

Please note: neGuard is an optional device. The mobile app can independently use all posture detection and stretching guidance functions without neGuard.

The biggest feature of neGuard is that it is completely open source. The component cost is only about HK$40, and the code and 3D printed shell files are publicly available on GitHub. Middle school students already possess assembly skills, allowing schools to incorporate this technology into STEAM courses. Students can assemble the devices and donate them to seniors in need through NGOs—allowing students to apply their knowledge, practice empathy, and bring tangible warmth to the elderly, building a bridge for intergenerational integration.
