Head drop check
Catch the slow downward head pitch that signals fatigue and tech neck. Works with your phone camera, laptop camera, or webcam. It runs entirely in your browser and the camera feed never leaves your device.
Prop your phone at desk height for front checks, or turn it sideways for side-view posture scans. Same test, same URL, no app.
Open phone linkWhat this test measures
This check reads your head pitch from a short on-device camera scan and compares it against an evidence-based comfort range (< 10 deg). The model maps the joints involved and averages the angle so a single fidget doesn't skew your result.
How to read your result
Green means you're inside the healthy range. Amber means you're drifting and it's worth a small adjustment. Coral means the angle is past the comfort line for long enough to cause strain. Your number updates live, so you can watch a fix land in real time.
What to fix first
- Adjust the one input driving the biggest signal — screen height, chair depth or input distance.
- Re-run the test and watch the meter move before you change anything else.
- Set a reminder so the corrected posture becomes the default, not the exception.
When to use WorkPose Pro
One test reads one signal. If you want this checked continuously — combined with posture, eye strain and fatigue, with live nudges and a progress history — that's what Pro does. It turns a one-off number into a habit that holds.
How this facial check works
- Face markers estimate head drop from eye, nose, and facial orientation signals over time.
- The analyzer uses an adaptive baseline so your normal looking-down angle is not treated as a problem by itself.
- This check does not measure shoulder, torso, or full neck position; use a body scan for that.
How to use your result
- Head drop pattern: repeated drops suggest your screen or laptop may be pulling your head down.
- Head drops with eye closure: take a reset break before continuing focused work.
- Head drops with neck discomfort: run the forward head or laptop hunch scan next.
How this differs from a posture scan
A posture scan looks at the body. This page only uses facial attributes. If head drops keep showing up, the next useful step is a side or full posture scan to check tech neck and laptop setup.
Why baseline matters
Some people naturally work with a small downward angle. WorkPose looks for a meaningful increase from baseline instead of treating every downward look as a problem.
When to run a body scan
Run the full posture scan if head drops appear with neck discomfort, laptop hunch, forward head posture, or repeated screen leaning.
