Posture Connection
A strong connection between posture and breathing has been emphasized by numerous traditions for
thousands of years, including Yoga Pranayama. The basic idea is that good posture facilitates good
breathing by improving the mobility of your diaphragm. This idea is now supported by a number of
recent studies and research. This is why the Prana wearable can also simultaneously track your posture
during your breath training sessions. Prana can separately train both your upper and lower back
posture, offering a more complete positive impact on your overall posture, while seated or standing.
Two Ways to Train: Gamified and Buzzer
Gamified Visual Training provides a fun interactive way to train your breathing. Your inhalations and
exhalations control the movement of a bird character through a visualized breathing pattern. Different
background environments set you on your breathing journey.
Buzzer Training allows you to close your eyes and be guided to breathe with a gentle buzzer, signaling
when to inhale and exhale.
It’s great
for meditation and mindfulness practices.
In both cases, our system can immediately detect and warn you if
you’re
not breathing according to the
specific pattern, or maintaining upright posture.
Tracking
In addition to our primary training modes, our app and device can also track your breathing and posture
in the background as you work, alerting you to stressed breathing or slouching posture to improve upon.
Design
Prana is built around a unique patented form factor utilizing a novel retractable belt design with
advanced sensors and algorithms to accurately track your real-time breathing and posture. This allows
our device to be easily and flexibly worn on multiple locations on the trunk of your body for more
complete breath and posture training, independent of clothing type, while maintaining a compact size.
Body Measurements
As a bonus feature, Prana’s unique retractable design
allows it to track 14 body measurements. If you
are interested in weight loss, fitness training, or body building, this is a great way to chart your progress.
In particular, by tracking your waist size, Prana goes beyond what a simple weight scale can accomplish.
Excessive waist size has been associated with significant medical issues such as metabolic syndrome, so
tracking this over time can be a helpful adjunct to your wellness goals. The Prana retractable belt can
measure up to 58 inches (147.32 cm).
