Sensoria tracks foot impact and ‘advises’ on shoes
Wearables specialist Sensoria will be debuting enhancements to its Smart Running System at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas this month.
The new version of the web dashboard and mobile app are able to collect data on foot impact score and average stride length as well as provide advanced cardio training through heart rate zone and heart rate variability tracking.
The updated programme can compare shoes, impact forces and running form together with more traditional performance metrics.
Sensoria CEO Davide Vigano said: “The data our technology is able to collect has not been collected before much less presented to runners in an easy-to-understand interface. We’ve seen studies that show how impact force and over-striding are linked to injuries so we want to help people identify bad habits, and correct them. Our web dashboard’s virtual shoe closet also makes it easier for people to track the mileage on their shoes, and get automatically notified when it is time to replace them, receiving recommendations on the next best pair of shoes based on their own running form and performance data.”
Sensoria is also expanding its collection of smart upper body garments to enhance the running experience, accommodate more options for exercise under various conditions and provide users with more colour choices.
