Research Summary
A smart insole is a technologically advanced footwear insole embedded with sensors and electronics that monitor various aspects of foot health, movement, and activity. These insoles typically feature pressure sensors, accelerometers, and gyroscopes that track parameters such as walking patterns, gait, posture, step count, and even weight distribution. The data collected by the sensors is often transmitted to a smartphone or a dedicated device through Bluetooth, providing real-time insights into the user’s foot mechanics and overall health. Smart insoles can be particularly beneficial for athletes, individuals with foot conditions (like diabetes or flat feet), and people undergoing rehabilitation, as they help identify abnormalities, prevent injuries, and improve performance. Some models also feature additional functions like heating, cooling, or even massage, offering extra comfort and convenience.
