Smart DigiSole insoles will teach you how to put the foot correctly and will monitor the physical activity of the owner

“Well, another kilometer, come on, you can!” - hardly anyone expects such exclamations from their own shoes. In principle, the shoes are still not talking (or are there any samples?), But smart insoles for shoes of any type have already appeared.

Not so long ago, the Medgadgets blog described a device that allows you to understand whether a person puts his foot on the run correctly after a detailed analysis of a couple of workouts. That runScribe device is equipped with a 7-axis accelerometer, which allows you to analyze in detail the load on the foot when running, jumping, cycling.

DigiSole is a simpler (and therefore less expensive) analogue of runScribe, which allows not only checking the correctness of the foot position, but also monitoring the physical activity of the owner.

What can DigiSole do?

The main task of DigiSole is to track the distribution of weight on the foot, in order to adjust the positioning of the foot of the owner, if necessary. Usually improper placement of the foot leads to all kinds of problems with the legs in people who are often involved in athletics. Problems include leg pain, tendon stretching, excessive stress on some bones and muscles, etc.



After one or two trainings, DigiSole collects all the necessary information (while transmitting it to the smartphone via Bluetooth), and the smartphone application analyzes the data and visualizes the information received. The result of this work is human-readable graphs and a map of the load distribution on the foot.



In addition, DigiSole monitors the physical activity of a person, then showing the owner the result. As with other fitness gadgets, there is the ability to set goals and track their implementation.

DigiSole Features

The DigiSole smart insole includes this device:



According to the developers, the device cannot be felt with the foot, the insole fits snugly on the foot, and there are no problems with wearing shoes with such insoles (the latter are suitable for all types of shoes where insoles are used).

The insole is abrasion resistant and can last a long time.



All data is transferred to the smartphone application, DigiSole supports working with mobile devices on both Android and iOS.

Price

The developers estimate the cost of a pair of insoles at $ 100 (with the current pre-order). In principle, the price of DigiSole is comparable to the cost of most fitness trackers, with the expanded functionality of smart insoles.
