Need for BAN – 1/2
Present Solutions:
• Computer users try to follow the instructions of an ergonomics expert.
• Ergonomics Software to help users to take regular breaks, get reminded of correct posture and do regular stretches.

Need for BAN – 2/2
Problems with present solutions:• It is easy to adjust the height of the chair,
height of the screen and re-arrange the desk. But, It is difficult to follow the instructions aimed at your body.
• Ergonomics software are not intelligent enough, they are not aware of state of user and state of work environment. It can annoy user persistently with pop-up messages.

BAN A VIABLE SOLUTION
The solution using BAN could consists of
• The network component– A wearable costume with wireless sensors placed at appropriate
positions, sensors in chair, desk, and a gateway, form a body area network.
• Verification component– This entity takes information from BAN network to check the
correct posture of a body by analyzing the collected data.
• Message delivery component– This entity notifies a user with a simple text or audio message or
AV message. It could just be a warning message for wrong body posture or with a possible correction.
