![]() The ability to detect and analyze core body positioning is unique to the Lumo Lift, however, and Perkash says that its algorithm and software for discerning that information is the key ingredient to Lumo BodyTech’s long-term prospects for success. “We’re open, but what we’re passionate about is on the data side: How can we take data and use that and turn it into something actionable for health,” she said. “The hardware is a vehicle for us to do that. Do we feel like we have to continue on the hardware side? No, but in terms of where we are we design the hardware right now in a way that’s very specific to our use cases.” The sensors are a hook for the software and the services. The clasp on the Lumo Lift is magnetic, with the sensor going underneath the shirt, and just a small square metal clasp showing over top. I suggested there might be an opportunity for Lumo to create new accessory clasps to work with the Lift, and Perkash confirmed that was indeed the plan, with accessories likely rolling out down the road. Lumo will continue to sell the Lumo Back, too, and says that they’re aimed at slightly different customer segments. The Lumo Back is still designed to help people who want more from their posture sensor, and who are stationary at a desk for longer periods of time. The Lumo Lift is much more compatible without someone who moves around more during the day, and it’s a lot less cumbersome. Eventually, Perkash says she envisions Lumo BodyTech pushing into many different form factors, including eventually ones that integrated completely into clothing and other accessories. ![]() Currently, Lumo is also working on a sport specific sensor designed to leverage what it has learned about posture and body positioning, which Perkash says we’ll see later this year. The Lumo Lift is being crowdfunded by Lumo itself, and should ship in late spring 2014, with early backer pricing ranging from $59 to $79, with a companion app to be released for iOS initially.Posture problems?
