Abstract

The abuse of the smartphone technology is today causing a new syndrome, called the text neck. This syndrome damages the neuro-musculoskeletal apparatus. It is recorded in subjects of different ages and in particular among young people. A Medical App for the self-care in the text neck prevention has been proposed. This App returns: (a) a biofeedback on correct/incorrect posture; (b) a temporal accumulation function that indicates how long a subject is using the device and (c) a set of programmed postural exercises. The App was instrumentally validated in diminishing the neck tilt (related to the text neck), using wearable technologies, on a group of 15 young subjects.
