This invention describes smart shoes designed to help people improve their walking or running. Each shoe has tiny pressure sensors in the sole to measure how the foot presses down, and small vibrating motors to give feedback. These shoes can track how someone walks in real-time, provide immediate guidance through vibrations, and store all the data for later review and analysis. The specific design includes sensors under the heel, the ball of the foot, and the big toe, with vibrating motors placed in similar areas to guide movement.
Why it matters: Filed in 2015, the cost and size of embedded processors, wireless modules, and specialized sensors have significantly decreased. This makes integrating complex real-time gait analysis and feedback systems directly into footwear more feasible and affordable today.
