iShoe Detects Balance Problems
Posted on Jul 16, 08 09:51 PM PDT

I guess in this day and age, you would need to include an 'i' prefix in just about anything you want to market. The iShoe, in this instance, is able to detect balance problems in your feet to prevent future falls. Each iShoe comes with an insole equipped with a range of sensors that are able to measure the pressure distribution throughout a foot. An algorithm has also been deduced to analyze such data, hoping that future improvements will result in a balance diagnostic that help doctors catch balance problems before a fall can occur. I can't wait for something like this to roll out soonest possible - after all, plenty of older folk die each year as a result of injuries from their falls.
