The Solution: Smart Orthotics
Our Solution
The first fully-automatic self-adjusting dynamic Orthotics system that adapts to your changing foot structure. Using advanced graphical pressure imagery that shows the patient realtime how his foot is applying pressure, the control system obtains feedback information to make instant adjustments to the shape of the orthotics, ultimately leading to the optimal distribution on the patient's foot.
Advanced medicine requires advanced equipment. That's why Smart Orthotics employs state of the art control systems to adapt the sole to your foot! Unlike traditional orthotics that require continual replacement that can run upwards of $500/pair (not insured by most insurance companies), this system will keep up with the changing demands of your foot. The result - the last pair of orthotics you will need to purchase!

Alternative Ideas
Heating Coils
Heating coils deform the memory foam – sinking the foot at desired locations to correct foot orientation
Air Bubbles
Air bubbles are spread over the entire area of the insole. Foot posture is modified by deflating/inflating key bubbles
Air Muscles
Air muscles are connected to both ends of an elastic insole. When air is pumped, they contract & bend the insole in desired shape
Advantages of Our Design
- Does not require constant energization (orientation is maintained through mechanical screws)
- Robust and durable mechanical design
- Intuitive and Easy to use Graphical User Interface
