Abstract
As the world gets digitalized, the use of smart handheld devices, namely mobile phones, has significantly increased along with the problems associated with their usage. One of the issues that are being faced by the user due to prolonged usage of mobile phones in wrong postures is the bending of the cervical spine. The stress injury caused due to constant neck flexion while using a mobile phone creates a modern spine ailment called Texting Neck or Turtle Neck. The paper discusses a technique by which the user can get prompt alerts with the help of a mobile application that continuously monitors the right posture for holding the mobile phone. This technique uses the inbuilt android mobile sensors such as Accelerometer, Geomagnetic Field Sensor. The warning alerts created in vibrations form, which reminds the user to straighten their posture, which eventually prevents stress injury caused at the cervical neck spine.
