Smart socks for amputees: sensors track skin stress in real time
NCT ID NCT07216183
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 09, 2026 · Updated 28 times
Summary
This early-stage study tests a new wearable sensor system (E-SWEAT) that measures pressure, temperature, and sweat acid inside a prosthetic leg socket. Sixteen adults with below-knee amputations will wear the sensors while walking and doing a yoga pose. The goal is to see if the sensors work reliably and if higher pressure leads to more sweat acid, which could help prevent skin problems.
