Okay so I was browsing around and suddenly these 'smart socks' pop up and I'm like wooah wait a minute. I mean who could of come up with such a crazy but clever idea? That answer is Heapsylo.They say their
socks could prevent running injuries and other foot-related problems. This will be huge in training for athletes but is that all it can do?
Yes, but the idea is clever, at least I think it is.
How does it work? There apparently are these sensors that then connect via bluetooth to a smartphone to say if they need to change their stride or pace to help prevent an injury in your foot. They also say these socks could warn carers if eldery patients are losing their balance and are at risk of falling.
The boss of Heapsylo says "we want to become the GoreTex of embeddable computing"
I can see it working really well for medical and sporting purposes but many people just might not be interested. This consept is only a prototype but will hopefully get fundraising to produce it in the market at a later date.
I really like this idea and do you? Tell me below in the comments! Thanks
