Many people, like nursing staff, suffer from lower back pain as a consequence of over-burdening. The BackUp was designed especially for them. This T-shirt that is connected to a smartphone bleeps when an incorrect movement is made or position is adopted. BackUp raises awareness. It motivates wearers to really watch their backs.
