There is a lot of talk about smart health connected shoes, especially for athletes. But these are limited to a single use, difficult to use sports shoes permanently. What if the solution was inside, in an interchangeable accessory? Discover our selection of smart health connected insoles combining health and sports activity.

GPS SmartSoles, to know all the time where your loved ones are

The concept may surprise. Why do you want to follow your loved ones? It's simple, these are smart health connected insoles intended for people suffering from cognitive disorders like Alzheimer's, autism, brain injuries … In short, all people able to forget who they are, where they are and where they live. These people may disappear and no longer know where they should go, a situation that is very worrying for loved ones. GPS SmartSoles therefore provides their loved ones with a simple, non-intrusive solution. Just integrate it into the shoe and then connect this smart sole to the dedicated application. You can then have real time at any time where the carrier is.

Note that the idea was originally born from an even more extreme situation. That of Elizabeth Smart, kidnapped in Utah (United States) at the age of 14. The question that its creators asked themselves is “what if she had a tracer in her shoes?” Not sure, however, that having your children wear this is a good way of making them responsible. Count 299 dollars for smart health connected insoles which come in several sizes. It will also add 35 dollars per month for the tracing service.

DigitSole, the heated insoles

When we are in winter sports or it is cold outside, our feet are often the first affected. Frozen inside our feet, we only dream of putting them on a heater. Thanks to Digitsole heating insoles, this problem is eliminated. Thanks to your smartphone, you can select the temperature you want for the inside of your shoes. The system is very close to that used in a house to adjust the heating temperature. Each sole consists of a resistor (the heating element), a battery and a thermostat. Once the desired temperature has been reached, the thermostat switches off the heating to avoid a burn. If it drops, the internal heating is restarted. The sole is waterproof and promises an autonomy of 8 hours. Small bonus, an activity sensor measuring steps, distance traveled and calories consumed.

On the price side, count 200 € for the model of heated insoles. If you only want those for sports, the price is a little more affordable. They are indeed sold at a price of 100 €. At CES 2020, the company also presented Smart Shoes. Smart shoes incorporating most of the technologies present in the soles. They can therefore be heated and serve as an activity tracker. However, they also go further. Smart Shoes thus integrate an automatic lacing technology and a shock absorption system. Advertised for over a year, they have not yet hit the market, but the price is expected to be around € 450.

Lechal, smart health connected insoles for the visually impaired

The Indian group Ducere Technologies has launched its smart health connected footwear brand “Lechal” a few years ago. There are shoes but also smart health connected soles. The people affected by this audience are the visually impaired. Indeed, they use haptic technology to work like a GPS. Do you want to get to a destination easily? You enter it in the application. Then, the soles will guide you through a system of vibrations transmitted to your arch. The closer you are to your destination, the more intense the vibration.

smart health connected insoles are sold at a price of 160 € and come in two different sizes. They are smart health connected to your smartphone using bluetooth 4.0 (compatible with Android and iOS). The battery life is estimated at 15 days per recharge.

Feetme, smart health connected insoles for diabetics

Feetme is a French start-up founded in 2013. They started by offering soles specifically adapted for people with diabetes. The goal is to prevent the risk of ulcers in patients. Indeed, diabetes can cause loss of sensation in the foot. If the patient is injured, he does not realize it and the wound can become infected, leading to amputations. Ulcers affect about 15% of diabetics. In France, 8,000 of them must be amputated each year for this reason. Feetme smart health connected insoles therefore work with pressure sensors that are able to detect variations and alert the wearer.

Since its launch, the company has extended its product range. It now also offers smart health connected insoles for runners' destinations. They can analyze the technique in order to improve performance.
