Description
The Smart Backpack System is an innovative solution designed to combat back pain among students caused by heavy and improperly carried school bags. This integrated system employs pressure and motion sensors to monitor load distribution and posture in real time, alerting users to unsafe conditions through vibrations and LED signals. Enhanced with GPS tracking, the smart backpack connects to a mobile app, allowing parents to set scheduled locations, track their child’s journey, and receive alerts if delays occur. Additionally, the backpack features an SOS button for emergencies, facilitating immediate location sharing. By prioritizing spinal health and safety, this project aims to foster healthier habits in children as they grow.
