Backed by extensive clinical research, the UPRIGHT GO wearable device claims to rectify bad posture within 2-3 weeks. With 8 out of 10 Americans experiencing back pain and “54% of them spending most of their time sitting,” the sedentary lifestyle is taking its toll on the working class. Capable of tracking your posture with simple corrective vibrations, the UPRIGHT GO is a physical therapist’s newest best friend.
“When the user slouches, the device vibrates, reminding the user to return to the proper upright position.”
By simply sticking the adhesive strip to your back and turning the tiny wearable on, you instantly have a powerful companion tracking daily posture. Whether it’s preventing muscular pain, training your muscles to work collaboratively, correcting imbalances, or strengthening your core, the UPRIGHT GO is designed to reverse the effects of slouching.
According to a recent clinical study at Kessler Rehabilitation Center in New Jersey lead by Ms. Kavita Patel, DPT, the UPRIGHT GO can be used for a wide variety of patient populations from “computer workers to anyone with poor postural stability.” UPRIGHT GO is “a good adjust to PT interventions for postural re-education at home or at the office.”
Whether you want to correct bad posture throughout the day or simply track daily movement, UPRIGHT GO allows you to select from two distinct modes. The Training mode vibrates when you slouch, reminding you to make a mid-day correction until the behavior becomes second nature. The Track mode doesn’t vibrate but keeps performance metrics of your position. Powered by an intuitive UPRIGHT GO app, users can review postural stats, daily activity, and analyze progress reports. All of the data from your daily postural adjustments are saved to UPRIGHT’s iOS/Android compatible companion app.
The highly-accurate device fastens to your back using a super-durable double-sided sticker. Lasting close to 2-3 weeks (average of 15 applications), the UPRIGHT GO adhesive is made from hypoallergenic medical silicone and is sweat/water resistant. If you’re concerned about longevity, the tiny wearable is equipped with a battery that lasts 8 hours on a 45-minute charge.
UPRIGHT works in three easy steps: turn on the device, put it on, and then receive immediate posture feedback. If you’re one of the millions inflicted with habitual back pain due to bad posture, this is a non-invasive device that you can wear while driving, standing, walking, or sitting. The groundbreaking companion app keeps you accountable with captivating infographics of your movement.
SAP Software Solutions, the multinational software solutions firm, asked 13 of its employees to wear the UPRIGHT GO as part of a corporate wellness initiative. After filling out a survey, the employees reported the following:
25% reported relief in their back pain
60% felt more productive while working with good posture
50% felt their core muscles becoming stronger
The end result: overall satisfaction from own posture improved by 70%
As of May 1st (2017), the UPRIGHT GO has raised $678,221 from its Kickstarter campaign. With the hopes of eradicating the adverse side effects of bad posture, this tiny wearable device may just be the answer to a growing epidemic.
Very unimpressed. Finally received my upright go and went to try it out… biggest complaint it doesn’t really track your posture at all… if you back is straight but you shoulders are majorly shrugged forward… no buzz..
Apparently that is good posture!!! Also it doesn’t buzz away all day long… it only buzzes in training mode which is 9mins long! Complete waste of money

I’ve been using this device for about a month or so now and I have to say I’m don’t think it worth all the hyped. The app is buggy, not very intuitive, battery doesn’t last very long, and it is way too pricey for what it does. I have to sit sorta slanted to the back or lean toward the back of my chair and it considers to be straight. This is not exactly sitting upright. Very unimpressed, will not recommend this to anyone. Good idea but bad execution.

This is a waste of your money and the company will not refund you. They tells you they also think their product is crap if they will not give you your money back. Would not stick so now I have an expensive paper weight. The only reason I gave it stars is because it is a good idea but not the product does not work. The customer service is the worst ever.

Good luck getting a refund! They do everything they can to delay and give you the run around. The product did nothing and the return policy is a joke, DONT BUY!
Upright go acts goofy when trying to connect, needs recharged immediately after… hope I can get my money back.
I had high hopes for this product. The directions were not clear, I had to search all over their website to find out basic information. The product wouldn’t charge. The battery doesn’t last long at all. Customer service just sent me a bunch of links to look at. The charger did not make contact to actually charge the product – it was a waste of money!!
