Description
Prachid Saramolee and co-authors published this wearable technology study in 2026. It presents a smart insole made largely of natural rubber, designed to measure body load remotely and cheaply. Each insole carries four load sensors under high-pressure spots of the foot. A small chip streams left and right loads over Wi-Fi to a cloud service. The team tested the insole against reference weights, then compared walking in thirty adults, half with flexible flatfoot and half with normal arches.
Body weight came out with an average error under three percent, and the small bias left over could be removed by one calibration factor. While wearing the insoles, the flatfoot group walked with a wider base but matched the other group in step length and speed. At fast walking, only a drop in cadence survived strict statistical correction. The authors see the insole as fit for remote monitoring.
