Evaluation of Self-powered Smart Insoles
Spectrum Ergonomics and Occupational Health Services
Summary
This study will evaluate the effectiveness of newly developed self-powered, smart insoles that will be used for remote patient monitoring (RPM) for both military and civilian populations. The present study is part of a project funded by SEMI and the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL).
Description
The present study, funded jointly by SEMI and the AFRL, is intended to evaluate the comfort, durability, and sensor accuracy of the smart insoles and associated mobile app. The study will evaluate both generation 1.0 and generation 2.0 of the smart insole. The primary difference between the two generations is the that gen 2.0 will use an improved energy harvester for power generation. The present study is structured in two phases. Phase 1 will evaluate gen 1.0 of the insole in a pilot study at the University of Utah (U of U) with 10 subjects. The subjects will be asked to wear the insole whil…
