Each year, 8,000,000 Canadians suffer from foot-related health issues, exacerbated by limited care access and overlooked podiatric concerns. FeetBack addresses these issues as a Bluetooth-enabled insole that tracks foot pressure, alignment, and temperature using a sensor mesh. Data is processed in an embedded system and sent to a mobile app, enabling users and physicians to monitor foot health without specialized assessments. Designed for the general public, FeetBack promotes early ailment detection and care, unlike current alternatives targeted at professional athletes.
