Neck Check: Keep Your Kid's Neck in Check!
Neck Check is a free Android app developed by Digi Telecommunications Sdn. Bhd. that helps parents monitor and prevent their children from developing Text Neck, a condition caused by bad posture while using smartphones. With over 10 million mobile users in Malaysia spending up to 3 hours a day on their devices, the rise of text neck is a growing concern.
Once activated, Neck Check runs in the background and detects when the phone is tilted at a dangerous degree. When this happens, a friendly reminder takes over the screen, prompting the child to hold the phone at a proper angle. The app is password protected to prevent the child from turning it off. By encouraging proper posture, Neck Check aims to prevent wear-and-tear on the spine and promote healthier smartphone usage habits.
With the average Malaysian two-year-old spending at least 6 hours a day on a device, Neck Check is an important tool for parents to ensure their children's necks are protected. By addressing the issue of text neck early on, parents can help prevent long-term health problems associated with poor posture.
