Is a posture sensor patented?
Short answer: specific designs of a posture sensor have been patented many times, but "a posture sensor" as a general idea is not what is protected. What matters is the exact combination of features in your version.
What our index shows
- 158 US and WO patent publications since 2000 have a title matching “posture sensormonitortrackdetect” or a close variant (our index of 9.7 million patent families; one publication per family).

What this means for your idea
Because patents cover specific combinations of features, the useful question is not “has a posture sensor been patented?” but “has my combination of features been described before?” Health and fitness devices are dense with sensor and wearable patents; compare the sensing method, mounting, and what feedback is given.
