A novel wearable smart insole featuring pressure sensors and AI technology has been developed for continuous monitoring of gait and detecting lower limb dysfunction. Designed with a bioinspired structure, it offers real-world applications for assessing lower extremity function beyond traditional laboratory settings. The insole, powered by solar cells and rechargeable batteries, can capture precise gait patterns effectively, achieving high accuracy in identifying foot abnormalities. It has potential uses in monitoring conditions like diabetic neuropathy and supporting rehabilitation, though larger validations are required.
