Smart insoles that power themselves could track your health
NCT ID NCT07273422
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing new self-powered smart insoles that can monitor health signs like oxygen levels and heart rate. Researchers want to see if the sensors are safe and accurate. About 150 healthy adults aged 18 to 90 will wear the insoles during four weekly visits. The goal is to see if these insoles could be used for remote patient monitoring in both military and civilian settings.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- self-powered smart insoles with sensors
- What this could lead to
- If successful, these insoles could provide a convenient way to monitor health remotely without needing batteries or charging.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early observational study focused on safety and accuracy, not on treating any disease. The insoles may not prove reliable enough for widespread use.
