点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

autonomous_ID has created an innovative product called BIO_SOLE, a smart shoe insole with integratedsensors, microprocessors, accelerometer, battery system, and networking. BIO_SOLE measures pressure atmultiple regions of the foot and foot movement while a person is standing, walking, running, or performingdaily activities. This wearable monitoring system can be used to understand how a person moves, preventworkplace injuries, monitors and prevents the sports injuries, monitors and tracks the progression of diseasesthat affect the balance or a person's ability to move within the chosen environment. The project will evaluatethe new BIO_SOLE in terms of data validity and reliability, performance over multiple loading cycles, andviability within a healthcare environment for point-of-care patient interaction. The project results will lead toBIO_SOLE applications in the "pre-clinic, clinical care, followup" cycle in areas such as joint replacementsurgery, prosthetic and orthotic device fitting, and elderly fall risk monitoring.
