ABSTRACT
The post-pandemic working pattern has changed a lot due to the change in the mode of working and ease of flexibility as almost all the works are done online. This is affecting the lifestyle of the human due to continuing online working and due to this many health issues are being recorded. The main problem seen is in the postural change of the neck which results in minor or major neck pain problems. According to a study currently, the rate of neck pain is around 30% in adults, around 50% of individuals are facing a minor neck problem to some extent and 20% of humans experienced this neck pain in their daily activities.
Different types of neck diseases can be occurred due to this such as osteoarthritis, pinched nerves, postural pain, and also some problems related to cervical vertebrae, for the same the existing collar belt is modified and tried to make an affordable massager belt to have relief during this pain which helps the blood flow to maintain and can stimulate nerves.
Advanced treatment is embedded in this collar which has vibration motions and a heating pad that helps for the neck. According to their requirement, we can adjust the intensity of the motion. And also, this helps the improvement in the neck posture.
