Our group proposes to create SoleMate, a smart insole that can track your health progress in every step of the way! What makes SoleMate a smart sole is that it can track walking or running performance with its computing abilities. The sole will be equipped with a sensor that is able to count calories, detect the distance one was able to walk or run, the amount of time he or she has been doing so, and his or her pace. All of these are seen in a digital watch to which the transmitter in the insole sends data to. SoleMate also comes with a website software that acts as a health management program. All information collected by the digital watch will be stored in a miniSD can be stored in the website as progress marks.It is the perfect companion to all health conscious people because they will be able to keep track their progress, which is important in therapy and periodization.
