The smart shoes of a technology company in Israel have become the savior for the elderly.
Recent research has shown that at age 65, one in three people has a fall and a serious injury every year. The higher the age, the greater the likelihood of falling and the seriousness of the injury. As self-balancing capacity has declined, it is understandable that old people are hardly able to get the balance back fast enough to stand. But this problem is now solved.
Composition of the special heel of the B-shoe.
B-shoe is a smart shoe from a technology company in Israel, led by Dr. Yonatan Manor. Using ultra-lightweight materials, the B-shoe has pressure sensors and an integrated motion device, a microprocessor chip, a rechargeable battery pack combined with a sophisticated algorithm.
These shoes will feel the most delicate imbalances, then automatically attach the same force as stepping backwards, acting on one leg as a pillow and helping the shoe wearer avoid falling.
With that in mind, B-shoe's main target audience will be the elderly and the production team plans to license the product as a medical device, not a technology or fashion product.
