Postural monitoring in the elderly is essential to avoid the appearance of musculoskeletal problems, as well as to prevent risky situations and falls. In this work, a monitoring device composed of 16 FSR (Force Sensitive Resistor) sensors is presented, discreetly placed along the seat and back of a chair. The selection of the location of these sensors has been carried out through a previous study, where the most significant points have been identified. To validate the monitoring device, different experimental tests have been carried out where the results obtained by the proposed device have been compared with those measured with a pressure mat. The results show that the positions presented are correctly characterized by the proposed system, being able to reduce the cost of the hardware and increase its autonomy.
