![]() ![]() But who wants yet another daily admin task added to their digital to-do list? It needs to be super-quick and automatic. What it's actually doing is fetching from the phone's activity data. Unfortunately, the sync between device and app can take around five minutes while it's 'getting historical data'…from yesterday. Does Lumo Lift even need an app? I'm not convinced it does. So two months in, I'm none the wiser about my posture, or what to do about it. I also received a weekly email telling me that my worst posture time was between 3am and 4am (while the Lumo Lift was clipped to a shirt draped over a chair). The app's 'trends' graph also lacks any useful insight, it's just a list of 'good posture hours' with no extra information added. However, while Lumo Back gave a live, real-time graphic about your posture, Lumo Lift doesn't, instead focusing on rewarding the user in rather meaningless ways. The app is similar to Lumo Back's in that it also collates basic statistics on your activity (though not sleep). Using the app you can set it to the inherently annoying three seconds if you want to be lambasted every time you even slightly slouch, or up to ten minutes. It may well use patented biomechanics monitoring sensors, but as far as Lumo Lift's 'posture and movement feedback system' goes, that's it. The Lumo Lift vibrates if you slouch or, rather, if your shoulders lean forward. That's a pretty savvy decision, but doesn't solve the Lumo Lift's core problem: it doesn't do much. The makers want me to notice what Lumo Lift is doing, at first, then try to prevent it from annoying me too much. Slouch in such a garment and the device stays in the same position, and it doesn't buzz.ĭuring set-up using the free app for iOS (opens in new tab) or Android it 'strongly advised' me to have it buzz after 15 seconds of slouching (something it calls 'coaching'), but the advice quickly changed with the coaching mode toggled on, it soon increased that advice to two minutes. ![]() The Lumo Lift does not track or provide posture feedback while in movement, during activities such as walking, running, or driving.I also found that the Lumo Lift works better with some clothes than others if clipped to a t-shirt it worked fine, but if the garment is at all baggy or loose – as a shirt can be – it means the Lumo Lift doesn't move as the wearer moves. The Lumo Lift only tracks and provides vibrational coaching feedback on posture while in stationary positions, such as sitting and standing. Will Lumo Lift track my posture while moving? Please do not submerge your Lumo Lift in water or put it in a washing machine. No, the Lumo Lift is not water-resistant. Clip in place using magnetic clasp.ģ) Get into good posture, set your target posture by single-pressing your Lumo Lift, and you’re good to go! Be sure to set your target posture each time you reposition it or change your clothing.ġ) Remove square magnetic clasp from Lumo Lift sensor.Ģ) Place Lumo Lift sensor against your body right below your collarbone. The larger sensor portion is worn underneath your clothes, while the magnetic clasp goes on the outside of a shirt or undershirt to hold your Lumo Lift in place. Lumo Lift should be worn directly below your collarbone, midway between your shoulder and neck. ![]()
