Dorsi vs Upright GO: connected posture devices
Upright GO alerts slouching on the upper back. Dorsi adds lumbar support, lumbar assessment, physio mini-games and the Chutex health ecosystem.
Who this guide is for
Remote workers, drivers, seniors who sit longer, caregivers supporting mobility routines, employers running QVCT/MSD prevention, and physios seeking adherence between visits.
Dorsi is a wellness connected lumbar cushion, posture support, mobility games and indicative trends. Not medical treatment.
Daily routine (10 minutes)
Alternate sitting and standing, use gentle vibration reminders, complete one guided programme or mini-game, share PDF trends with your clinician if in supervised rehab.
Persistent pain, sciatica symptoms or recent trauma: use local emergency pathways and medical care, Dorsi does not replace that.
Employer and clinician pathways
Employers: Dorsi Pro deploys cushions in break rooms with aggregated adherence, a QVCT/wellness tool, not occupational health diagnosis.
Physios: secure patient link, indicative lumbar trends, mini-game completion between visits. You remain responsible for assessment and treatment plan.
Caregivers: share family view in Chutex app for gentle seated routines, distinct from Elder fall-protection teleassistance in France.
Installation and onboarding
Unbox the cushion, charge via USB-C, pair Bluetooth in the Chutex app, run the three-day posture calibration, pick desk/car/sofa mode, set vibration level (three intensities), and schedule two daily programme reminders.
Invite a physio or family member through the secure sharing link if you want accountability. Employers rolling out Dorsi Pro configure the Android tablet stand in break rooms and review anonymised adherence dashboards monthly.
Annual consumer plan includes the cushion hardware - Nora AI coach, guided programmes and France-only medical teleconsultation for eligible accounts, verify market availability before purchase.

24/7 physician teleconsultation and HDS hosting are France-only for eligible accounts. US users rely on existing care and 911.
