==Original Abstract Submitted==

Examples of head-mounted devices for postural alignment correction are provided. In one aspect, a head-mounted device is implemented to include a display, a plurality of sensors including an inertial measurement unit, and a controller. The controller includes instructions executable to control the head-mounted device to receive inertial measurement data from the inertial measurement unit, to input the received inertial measurements into a machine learning model, and to receive an estimated body posture from the neural machine learning model. In this aspect, additionally or alternatively, the machine learning model is an artificial neural network that has been trained to estimate the body posture by calculating a craniovertebral angle, where the craniovertebral angle is defined as an angle between a first line crossing a tragus point and a cervical vertebra point and a second line crossing the cervical vertebra point.
