Claim 9:
10. A computer-implemented method for monitoring a body position of a user, the method comprising:
receiving, at an electronic device, a first wireless signal of a first wirelessly locatable tag that is positioned along a first region of a back of the user, the first wirelessly locatable tag having a first wireless circuit configured to transmit the first wireless signal;
determining a first distance from the electronic device to the first wirelessly locatable tag based at least in part on the first wireless signal;
receiving, at the electronic device, a second wireless signal of a second wirelessly locatable tag that is positioned along a second region of a back of the user, the second wirelessly locatable tag having a second wireless circuit configured to transmit the second wireless signal;
determining a second distance from the electronic device to the second wirelessly locatable tag based at least in part on the second wireless signal;
receiving, at the electronic device, a third wireless signal of a third wirelessly locatable tag that is positioned along a third region of a back of the user, the third wirelessly locatable tag having a third wireless circuit configured to transmit the third wireless signal;
determining a third distance from the electronic device to the third wirelessly locatable tag based at least in part on the third wireless signal; and
determining a characteristic of the body position of the user using the first, second, and third distances.
