[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] This utility model discloses a cervical spine health monitoring device, including a cervical spine health monitoring mechanism and a monitoring result feedback mechanism.

[0026] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the cervical spine health monitoring device includes a monitoring component and a neck support connection component. The monitoring component includes a housing 1, on which are electrically connected a power supply module, a neck angle monitoring module 8, and a storage module. The neck angle monitoring module 8 is located inside the housing 1, and a cover 2 is sealed and fixedly connected to the top of the housing 1. The power supply module includes a battery 7 located inside the housing 1 and a charging interface 3 located on the side wall of the housing 1. The battery 7 and the charging interface 3 are electrically connected, and the battery 7 is preferably a lithium battery. The storage module includes a memory card slot 9 located on the side wall of the housing 1 and a memory card located therein.

[0027] The neck brace connecting assembly includes several slots 5 located on the lower side wall of the box body 1, preferably two slots 5. Alternatively, the neck brace connecting assembly can be a magnetic module located at the bottom of the box body 1, containing several magnets 4, preferably two magnets 4. Furthermore, the neck brace connecting assembly can also include both of these modules simultaneously. In use, the neck brace connecting assembly can be connected to the snap-fit ​​6 on commonly used neck braces via the slots 5, or it can be attached to commonly used neck braces via the magnets 4. It can also be connected to commonly used neck braces simultaneously using both methods, further enhancing the stability of the connection.

[0028] The neck angle monitoring module 8 includes an Arduino Uno motherboard, an MPU6050 gyroscope, an ESP8266 Wi-Fi server, and other circuitry. The MPU6050 gyroscope detects the user's neck angle. The memory card chip in the storage module saves the detected neck angle data for further analysis of the gyroscope's recorded neck angle history. This allows for more comprehensive analysis of the user's posture habits over time, providing suggestions for posture adjustments. It can also record changes in the user's cervical curvature over time, monitoring the progression of the condition and aiding in diagnosis for doctors.

[0029] like Figure 6As shown, the monitoring result feedback mechanism includes a wristband 10, on which a vibration alert module 11 is fixedly connected. The vibration alert module 11 is wirelessly connected to the neck angle monitoring module 8. The vibration alert module 11 mainly includes a feedback motor and an ESP chip. The ESP chip controls the vibration of the feedback motor by receiving control signals transmitted by the Wi-Fi server ESP8266 in the neck angle monitoring module 8, thereby alerting the user to avoid prolonged head-down posture through the vibration of the wristband 10.

[0030] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
