Step Into the Future: Smart Insoles Track Your Every Move for Better Health

A new wearable smart insole system, developed by Ohio State researchers, could revolutionize personal health monitoring by tracking how you walk, run, and stand in real-time. Equipped with 22 pressure sensors and solar-powered, the system offers detailed gait analysis, potentially detecting early signs of conditions like plantar fasciitis and Parkinson’s disease. Powered by AI and machine learning, it provides personalized health feedback, promoting better posture, injury prevention, and rehabilitation. With high durability and long-term reliability, the system is set to improve self-care and transform how we monitor our health. Expect it to be available commercially in 3-5 years.
