A wearable positional therapy device for influencing a position of a user. In an embodiment, the device comprises a position detector that generates positional data used to determine a position of a user, a feedback generator that generates feedback to the user, and a microcontroller. The microcontroller is configured to receive and analyze the positional data to determine whether the user is in a target position, while, in response to the device being turned on or a reset operation, delaying feedback for a delay period. If it is determined that the user is in the target position during the delay period, no feedback is provided. However, if it is determined that the user is in the target position following the delay period, feedback is provided to the user to induce the user to change to a different, non-target position.
