This article is devoted to the study of the correlation between the emotional state of a person and the posture of his or her body in the sitting position. In order to carry out the study, we developed the first version of the hardware-software system based on a posturometric armchair, allowing the characteristics of the posture of a sitting person to be evaluated using strain gauges. Using this system, we revealed the correlation between sensor readings and human emotional states. We showed that certain readings of a sensor group are formed for a certain emotional state of a person. We also found that the groups of triggered sensors, their composition, their number, and their location are related to the states of a particular person, which led to the need to build personalized digital pose models for each person. The intellectual component of our hardware-software complex is based on the concept of co-evolutionary hybrid intelligence. The system can be used during medical diagnostic procedures and rehabilitation processes, as well as in controlling people whose professional activity is connected with increased psycho-emotional load and can cause cognitive disorders, fatigue, and professional burnout and can lead to the development of diseases.
