2. ABSTRACT
Footwear is an integral part of daily life. Embedding sensors and electronics in footwear for various
different applications started more than two decades ago. This review article summarizes the developments
in the field of footwear-based wearable sensors and systems. The electronics, sensing technologies, data
transmission, and data processing methodologies of such wearable systems are all principally dependent
on the target application. Hence, the article describes key application scenarios utilizing footwear-based
systems with critical discussion on their merits. The reviewed application scenarios include gait
monitoring, plantar pressure measurement, posture and activity classification, body weight and energy
expenditure estimation, biofeedback, navigation, and fall risk applications. In addition, energy harvesting
from the footwear is also considered for review. The article also attempts to shed light on some of the most
recent developments in the field along with the future work required to advance the field.

4. INTRODUCTION
Footwear is an irreplaceable part of human life across the globe. While the initial necessity was
purely to protect the feet , they have also become a symbol of style and personality . Footwear
acts as the interface between the ground and the wearer’s foot.
Lots of information can be gleaned from observing this interaction. Attempts to capture this
information by integrating sensing elements and electronics in the footwear began in the 1990s,
both for academic research purposes and in commercial products. In recent times, development
of low power, wireless, unobtrusive and socially acceptable wearable computing systems has
become an increasingly important research topic.
This trend is aided by the exponential growth in the electronics industry, which is driving rapid
advancements in micro fabrication processes, wireless communication, and sensor systems.

5. WEARABLE SYSTEM TECHNOLOGY
Wearable technology refers to electronic devices that are designed to be worn on the body, either as an
accessory or as a part of clothing, such as smart watches, fitness trackers, and smart glasses. These devices
typically have sensors, microprocessors, and wireless connectivity, and can collect and transmit data about
the wearer's health, activity, location, and environment
One of the key benefits of wearable technology is its ability to provide continuous, real-time monitoring of
various physiological and environmental parameters, allowing for early detection and intervention in cases
of health problems or environmental hazards.
For example, wearable devices can monitor heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, and glucose
levels in real time, and alert the wearer or their healthcare provider if there are any abnormalities.

6. LITERATURE REVIEW

these systems.

7. EXISTING SYSTEM
Nike+ Running Shoes: This is a popular wearable system in the market, which includes sensors that track
the distance, pace, and calories burned during a run. It also provides real-time feedback on the runner's
performance through an accompanying mobile app.
Adidas MI Coach Smart Run: This wearable system includes a GPS, heart rate monitor, and music player
in addition to tracking the runner's distance, pace, and calories burned. It also provides personalized
coaching based on the runner's fitness level and goals.
Sensoria Smart Socks: These socks contain textile sensors that monitor the user's foot landing, cadence,
and balance, providing real-time feedback on the runner's form. The accompanying mobile app also
tracks the user's distance, pace, and calories burned.

8. PROPOSED SYSTEM
Our proposed system is a footwear-based wearable system that combines the features of existing
systems and provides additional functionalities. The system includes sensors embedded in the sole of
the shoe that monitor the user's foot landing, cadence, and balance, in addition to tracking the
distance, pace, and calories burned during the activity. The sensors also detect the user's body
temperature and humidity, providing insights into the user's physiological state.
The system includes an accompanying mobile app that provides real-time feedback on the user's form
and performance, in addition to personalized coaching based on the user's fitness level and goals. The
app also includes a social component that allows users to share their progress and connect with others
in their fitness community.
Overall, our proposed system aims to provide a comprehensive and personalized approach to fitness
tracking, monitoring, and coaching through a footwear-based wearable system.

10. SMART SHOES
Smart shoes are a type of wearable technology that incorporate sensors and other electronics to track
the wearer's movements, activity levels, and other data related to their foot health and overall well-
being. Some smart shoes are designed for athletic performance, while others are intended for health
monitoring or safety applications.
Athletic smart shoes typically include sensors that track the wearer's steps, distance, speed, and other
metrics related to their performance. These shoes may also include features like coaching tips,
personalized training plans, and real-time feedback on running form and technique.

11. SMART INSOLES
Smart insoles are a type of wearable technology that are designed to be inserted into shoes to monitor the
wearer's movement, posture, and activity levels. These insoles typically include sensors and other
electronics that can track various data related to foot health, gait analysis, and athletic performance.
Health-focused smart shoes can track data related to foot health, such as pressure distribution,
temperature, and moisture levels. This information can be used to identify potential problems like
blisters, hot spots, and inflammation, and alert the wearer to take corrective action.
