How it works
How VerteGuard Works.
A small sensor on your upper back, an app on your phone and a Coach that keeps you going. Here's how the pieces fit together, from setup to your first streak.
Step 1 · Wear it
Clip the B10 high on your back.
Clip the sensor between your shoulder blades, just below the neck, so it sits flat against your shirt.
Why it matters: too low and it reads your hips instead of your spine, which makes every reading look better than it is.
Placement in the app: Upper back
Step 2 · Connect
Pair it with the VerteGuard app.
Switch the sensor on and hold it close to your phone. The app looks for B10s nearby over Bluetooth.
- Allow nearby devices when the app asks, and turn Bluetooth on.
- Pick up your B10 and give it a shake. The one that says Moving now is yours.
Step 3 · Calibrate
Show it your best sit.
Sit the way you'd like to sit all day, tap Set posture and hold still for a moment. That becomes your target.
- Every score compares you with your own posture, not a generic ideal.
- Set it again whenever you move where you wear the sensor.
Step 4 · Practice
Start a session and see yourself live.
Tap to start and a simple figure mirrors your posture: Upright, Leaning or Slouching, with a score from 0 to 100.
- For the first moments it shows Analyzing while it gathers enough to score fairly.
- A lean or slouch only counts once it holds for a few seconds.
- Your upright percentage and today's goal update as you go.
Step 5 · CoachingPremium
Let the Coach talk you through it.
With VerteGuard Premium, the Coach speaks short, friendly cues when a slouch holds and cheers you on when you sit tall.
- Choose how long a slouch lasts before the Coach speaks. The default is 10 seconds.
- Turn Coach voice off and the messages still show on screen.
Step 6 · ProgressPremium
Train, track and build the habit.
Work through a six stage training path, set a daily goal and watch your upright time, streaks and achievements grow.

Good to know
What VerteGuard Measures, and What It Doesn't.
Clear expectations make for a better routine.
What it does
- Reads the angle of your upper back while you sit or stand still.
- Compares it with the posture you set and shows it live in the app.
- Keeps count of your upright time across a session and a day.
- Works with the VerteGuard app on your phone, over Bluetooth.
What it doesn't
- Measure while you walk or move around. It pauses until you're still again.
- Coach you while walking. Walking coaching is in development.
- Work without the app. The B10 and your phone work together.
- Diagnose or treat anything. VerteGuard is a wellness product, not a medical device.
What you need
A B10 wearable, the free VerteGuard app and a phone: Android 8.0 or later with Bluetooth, or an iPhone once the App Store version arrives.
