Project poster

Improperly fitted-shoes can lead to foot ailments such as inflammation, muscle and tendon pain, and even circulatory problems. People are uninformed about the condition of their feet and factors like arch support, width, cushioning and even shoe condition can have a drastic impact on shoe performance. Feet diagnostics should be readily available to empower the user to make educated decisions about their footwear. Fito is a dashboard that aggregates foot metric data collected from insole sensors, provided by Boogio, to give users feedback regarding the fit of their shoes regularly over time. The sensors collect raw pressure and accelerometer data to provide data visualizations, a foot strike analysis, and estimated shoe-life. By making sense of the foot data and providing the user with insight into the mechanics of their feet, users are empowered to find shoes that are tailored to provide them with proper support and comfort.
