11/05/2015
The socks are embedded with proprietary textile sensors and are powered by a flexible and lightweight Bluetooth smart-enabled anklet that is paired with a mobile application to give wearers real-time updates on the distance, speed, ascent, descent, number of steps and other information while walking running or taking part in other sports.
“We’ve established a new technology standard for fitness and health trackers,” said the company’s chief executive and co-founder, Davide Vigano. “Our wearable system can help runners improve performance and avoid injury prone running styles.”
Consumers can buy a package comprising two pairs of smart socks, the electronic anklet, a USB charger, a dedicated mobile app for iPhone or Android and a web dashboard for $199. Two additional pairs of socks can be purchased for $49.
