The Confident Pose system isn't just a product—it's the culmination of years of sensor engineering expertise and a mission to eliminate human suffering. Meet Indira Negi, the inventor behind the custom-engineered solution that leverages the EMG muscle sensor to truly improve your posture through measurable muscle engagement.
The Problem Solver's Philosophy
For Indira Negi, an Electrical Engineer by training, technology's highest purpose is eliminating suffering by creating new, accessible devices. This philosophy led her to recognize the gap in the posture market: while millions suffer from chronic pain and lack of confidence due to poor posture, existing solutions were inadequate. Passive braces lead to dependency, and simple motion sensors fail to address the root cause: weak muscular endurance.
Indira recognized that to truly improve your posture, the solution had to be physiological, not just positional.
Building Expertise in Wearable Sensors
The rigorous custom-engineered design of Confident Pose is rooted in Indira's extensive background in developing physical sensors and consumer health technology.
Sensor Innovation: She is an award-winning inventor and a co-inventor on nine filed patent applications in consumer electronics.
Wearable Leadership: Her experience includes leading sensor engineering teams for wearable devices at Intel and serving as the primary inventor of Intel's first wearable smart device, the Lionheart earbuds.
This background in advanced sensor integration was the foundation for the dual-sensor fusion system necessary for Confident Pose.
The EMG Sensor Choice: Factual, Active Training
Indira's expertise drove the decision to build a custom-engineered system that integrates multiple sensors, rather than relying on simple motion tracking. She understood that a simple accelerometer couldn't deliver meaningful posture improvement.
The solution was the EMG muscle sensor:
Measuring Effort: The EMG system provides the most practical and reliable way for a wearable device to quantify muscle activity sensor levels and muscle engagement in real-time. This allows the system to detect the onset of muscle fatigue—the point where your body is about to slouch—and cue the user for active training.
Eliminating Guesswork: By measuring muscle effort, the custom-engineered solution can provide personalized calibration and feedback, overcoming the critical flaw of inaccuracy and constant, annoying alerts that plague position-only trackers.
The mission of Confident Pose is to translate complex sensor science into a practical, wearable technology that empowers users to build the strength for a truly confident pose.
