If the software and vision model are local what is the value given for the recurring fee? How is this better than a posture correcting garment or brace?

To answer your first question, we constantly improve the computer and mathematical models to improve the accuracy of the 'posture session'. We also offer in-depth analytics about your posture tendencies and also provide and constantly update libraries of exercises and (ergonomic) educational videos. Moreover, we constantly develop new features that users ask for, that are meant to tackle other parts of your wellness while you work (i.e. walk breaks, exercise breaks etc.)

Using a posture correcting garment or brace will actually make your muscles weaker, since they rely on external force to maintain your posture. This is very detrimental long-term and has a negative effect on your back health and overall health. They also don't help you build good posture habits, since you just have good posture while wearing a brace, but when you take it off, you're very likely to have bad posture again.

Makes sense. Thanks for taking the time to respond, I appreciate it.
For sure!
