Name: Wear Your Coach: A Live Wearable Movement Demo
description:
A live wearable tech demo + networking event at Tech Week 2026
Ever finish a workout, a yoga flow, or a stretch routine & wonder if you actually did it right? Most of us have no idea when our bodies are compensating, tilting, or drifting off course. LumbarGuide makes the invisible visible - & tonight, you get to feel it yourself.
This hands-on demo event puts a working wearable biofeedback system directly on attendees. No slides. No theory. Just real-time haptic feedback the moment your body moves wrong.
The evening features:
Plank Station - "How Long Can You Actually Hold It Right?" Think you know how to plank? Strap on the device & find out. The wearable detects the moment your lower back starts to sag, tracks your hold time, & buzzes when the clock runs out. No more guessing. No more cheating yourself.
Scoliosis Simulation - "Now Imagine Doing This Alone, Every Day" Watch a short clinical rehab video - as many times as you want, just like a real patient would after a clinic visit. Then try to replicate the movement from memory. The sensor will tell you if your correction went the right direction, if your pelvis compensated, & whether you held it correctly. Most people are humbled. All people get it.
Networking - Connect with founders, healthtech investors, engineers, & wellness enthusiasts in a casual, participatory setting.
Hear from the founder behind LumbarGuide - originally built to help adolescents with lumbar scoliosis practice rehabilitation exercises accurately at home using dual IMU sensors, it revealed something much more universal: most of us move through life with zero feedback on whether we're doing it right when the professionals aren't around.
Whether you're into wearables, healthtech, fitness, or just curious what it feels like when a device knows your body better than you do - you'll leave this event moving differently.
No medical background needed. Just bring your body.
This event is a part of #NYTechWeek-a week of events hosted by VCs & startups to bring together the tech ecosystem. Learn more at www.tech-week.com
