A wearable position therapy device for influencing the position of a user, the device comprising: a position detector configured to generate positional signal data that can be used to determine a position of the user, a haptic feedback device configured to generate tactile feedback to the user of the wearable position therapy device, and a microcontroller in communication with the position detector and the haptic feedback device, wherein the microcontroller is configured to: receive and analyze the positional signal data from the position detector, determine whether the user of the wearable position therapy device is in a target sleeping position, and generate a control signal to cause the haptic feedback device to provide tactile feedback to the user to induce the user to change to a different, non-target sleeping position if the user of the wearable position therapy device is in the target sleeping position, wherein the feedback is initiated only after a predetermined time period has elapsed in order to allow the user to initially fall asleep in the target sleeping position, wherein the user can reset the predetermined time period, and wherein the feedback begins at a low-intensity level, and, if a change in position is not detected after termination of the previous feedback, the feedback is presented at a higher-intensity level. a position detector configured to generate positional signal data that can be used to determine a position of the user, a haptic feedback device configured to generate tactile feedback to the user of the wearable position therapy device, and a microcontroller in communication with the position detector and the haptic feedback device, wherein the microcontroller is configured to: receive and analyze the positional signal data from the position detector, determine whether the user of the wearable position therapy device is in a target sleeping position, and generate a control signal to cause the haptic feedback device to provide tactile feedback to the user to induce the user to change to a different, non-target sleeping position if the user of the wearable position therapy device is in the target sleeping position, wherein the feedback is initiated only after a predetermined time period has elapsed in order to allow the user to initially fall asleep in the target sleeping position, wherein the user can reset the predetermined time period, and wherein the feedback begins at a low-intensity level, and, if a change in position is not detected after termination of the previous feedback, the feedback is presented at a higher-intensity level. receive and analyze the positional signal data from the position detector, determine whether the user of the wearable position therapy device is in a target sleeping position, and generate a control signal to cause the haptic feedback device to provide tactile feedback to the user to induce the user to change to a different, non-target sleeping position if the user of the wearable position therapy device is in the target sleeping position, wherein the feedback is initiated only after a predetermined time period has elapsed in order to allow the user to initially fall asleep in the target sleeping position, wherein the user can reset the predetermined time period, and wherein the feedback begins at a low-intensity level, and, if a change in position is not detected after termination of the previous feedback, the feedback is presented at a higher-intensity level.
