Abstract

Prolonged poor sitting posture is a major cause of musculoskeletal disorders including lower back pain and spinal abnormalities. This study designs and implements PosturApp, a deep learning-based Android application for real-time sitting posture detection using Kotlin. A Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) model was trained on 3,526 keypoint datasets sourced from the Kaggle public dataset (Posture Recognition) and direct image capture using an Android front camera, extracting 66 coordinate values from 33 body landmarks via MediaPipe BlazePose. The model was converted to TensorFlow Lite (TFLite) format at approximately 78 KB for on-device inference without internet connectivity. Evaluation results show an accuracy of 97.81% with precision 0.99, recall 0.99, and F1-Score 0.98. The application provides real-time visual feedback through interface color changes and corrective notifications, along with a gallery-based classification feature. Functional testing across eight posture scenarios yielded entirely correct results with confidence values ranging from 59% to 99%.
