ErgoAssist is a head-worn ergonomic system that combines IMU-based posture tracking with consumer-grade EEG to estimate cognitive load. By detecting the user's mental state, it issues posture alerts only when the user is unlikely to be in deep focus. Lab results show 81% posture classification accuracy and 81% alert reduction alongside 38% better posture correction.

Couples posture detection with cognitive load to fix the core failure of ergonomic wearables: interrupting during focus. The 81% alert reduction with better outcomes reframes alert design as a context problem.
