Good posture starts with the lower back, which is what the LUMOback sensor and mobile app monitors to track posture and activities, providing actionable feedback with real-time vibrations.

LUMOback was co-founded by CEO Monisha Kerpash and announced raising $5 million in Series A funding. Madrona Venture Group, Eric Schmidt’s Innovation Endeavors and Jerry Yang’s AME Cloud Ventures are investors.

A wearable sensor and smartphone app for posture, LUMOback is the first product by LUMO BodyTech, a company focused on making smart sensors and software and providing people actionable feedback to improve their health.
