It’s always sensible to fix your habits lest you fall prey to them. Don’t misunderstand this to be a piece of advice you never wanted; it’s attested by iShoe developed by MIT and NASA researchers who have their own route of instructing one to keep balance so that he/she doesn’t tumble. iShoe has got a sensor-laden insoles for computing the pressure sharing across a person’s feet. It’s passed on to a computer equipped a unique algorithm to analyze the data. I can bet it’s going to be extremely useful for doctors in catching balance problem and for elderly people to avoid fatal injuries. The researchers and other iShoe team members have applied for a patent on the technology and have won a grant of $50,000 in April from Lunar Ventures Competition. It’s regrettable that we are still with no words on its release.
