Everyday gait analysis: step counter, guidance on reducing pain and more.
Pacemaker Smart Sole
Sensors, electronics, battery and wireless – fully encapsulated in an insole that feels like any other. Users don't notice the system.
- 5 mm
- Total height incl. PU foam – unique on the market
- 12 h
- Runtime with a flexible lithium-ion battery
- 1.5 h
- Charging time via wireless charging (Qi)
Structure, from top to bottom
- Textile layer
- Piezoelectric sensor
- Flexible electronics with Bluetooth LE / ANT+
- Acceleration and orientation sensor
- Coil for wireless charging (Qi)
- Flexible lithium-ion battery
- Polyurethane foam, fully encapsulated
At their thickest point, the electronics and battery measure just 2 mm. The complex sensor network – power supply, data transmission, IMU and pressure distribution – has already been solved in the prototype.
Wireless charging via Qi – the sole stays completely sealed.
Applications
Sport
Power meter for power-based running training.
HealthCare
Load monitoring, for example for diabetes or after surgery, and early detection of diseases such as Parkinson's or Alzheimer's.
True power meter for power-based training
Conventional
Conventional power meters are based on the movement of the body's centre of mass and on speed; the horizontal movement of the centre of mass is taken into account.
Also possible with the Pacemaker system.True power meter
The Pyzoflex sensor releases a charge when the measuring cell deforms. The integral of the charge corresponds to the force, the signal itself to the deformation. The product of both signals gives the power relative to the measuring cell – thanks to its high dynamics, a revolutionary approach.
Only possible with the Pacemaker system.Already solved
Ergonomics: flat enough to go unnoticed in the shoe. A complex sensor network of power supply, data transmission, IMU and pressure distribution – with almost unlimited possibilities.
