Studies show that wearing/carrying a backpack can cause bad posture, sometimes because of the weight of the backpack or how the person is wearing it. This may result in long term effects, such as back pain or problems. To solve this issue, I would like to propose either constructing a new backpack or modifying an existing one to include fabric pressure sensors to be able to tell where too much force is being applied.
I actually found a previous Kickstarter project that aimed to create a backpack designed to help with posture: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/activelife/posture-vertical-backpack-the-worlds-first-posture
As this is sort of a niche product, I don’t know if it would be feasible for everyone to obtain a backpack designed with posture in mind.
