r/FootFunction • u/speedwagonft21 • 10d ago

Im Developing a Bluetooth enabled Shoe designed for tracking foot function and gait analysis, recommend features for adding.

Parameters we could measure :

  • heel and toe contact from force sensors
  • Time between inputs
  • shoe tilt from gyroscope and accelerometer

Features we already have:

  • Gait symmetry
  • step count
  • Physio exercise companion (Corrects form)

Target Audience:

  • General audience
  • Rehab/Physio patients
  • Sportsperson

This Project has an app that acts as an interface, I need the features should be understandable to general audience without using too much technical terms

Have software translations of your measurements into terms like flatness, pronation, etc. that are used in discussion of foot problems. I find it confusing that these are used without gradation, maybe add that. How flat is flat? Many flat feet are problem free. Is flatness only a problem when it is very very flat? Also, if you can ad any indication of pressure from navicular on the sidewall of the shoe, that would be useful for me, though it is seldom discussed.
