Footwear’s Digital Transformation
Thanks to Sensoria smart socks!
Sensoria is a company that specializes in creating smart wearable technology for a range of scenarios. One of its most innovative products is the Sensoria socks, which have transformed the way people approach running, gait science and potentially in the future healthcare conditions such as Parkinson's disease.
Running
For runners, the Sensoria socks have been a game-changer. The socks are designed with a range of textile pressure sensors and IMU's that track the user's speed, distance, cadence, and foot landing technique. The data is then sent to the Sensoria Run app and cloud dashboard, where runners can analyze the information and make changes to their running form to prevent injuries and improve their performance. Additionally, the smart socks have a small microelectronic clip, Sensoria Core, that houses the additional sensors and can be detached for easy recharging and washing.
Healthcare
The Sensoria smart socks have also found a place in the healthcare industry, where they are used for remote patient monitoring. For example, elderly patients who are prone to falls can wear the socks, which may detect changes in their gait and alert caregivers if there is a sudden change in movement. Additionally, patients with diabetes can use the socks to monitor their foot health and potentially help to prevent ulcers or other complications.
The sensors can detect the user's balance, pressure points, and weight distribution, helping users improve their posture and reduce risk of injury.
The Sensoria smart socks have been found to be helpful in managing Parkinson's disease. Patients with Parkinson's often have difficulty with gait and balance, and the socks can provide real-time feedback on changes in movement. By wearing the socks, patients can track their movements and adjust their gait and posture to aid in preventing falls and improving their quality of life.
Conclusion
The Sensoria smart socks are a versatile and innovative product that has found applications across a range of industries. From runners to patients with Parkinson's disease, the socks have the potential to revolutionize the way people approach movement and healthcare. As technology continues to advance, it will be exciting to see how Sensoria Health continues to innovate and help to improve the lives of its users.
