Abstract: Now-a-days, it is no surprise that mobile devices have become a very useful tool in the daily tasks of many people worldwide. This is thanks to their various features such as portability, connectivity, entertainment, work tool, etc. However, due to the bad posture that users have when using them, a syndrome called "Text Neck" is produced. This is caused by prolonged use of the devices looking down and tilting the head at different angles. The degree of inclination of the head causes a detrimental effect on the neck joints, so that the greater the degree of inclination the effect of the weight of the head on the neck increases detrimentally. However, currently mobile devices have sensors that help in monitoring the activities of users, in this sense, there is the gyroscope that allows the completion of the position and the accelerometer that tells us the amount of movement of the device. In this sense, a mobile application has been developed that by monitoring the information of the angle of inclination of the device and the time it remains in the same, allows notifying users to adopt a proper position. The aim is to reduce the number of people affected by text neck syndrome.
