Smart Orthotic Shoe Concept
Shoe.0
A smart orthotic shoe concept that uses a small air pump and air bladders to mold to the users foot. Charged by piezoelectric transducers in the sole to turn steps into power.
Modeled and rendered in Blender.
The Problem
Current shoe designs are not consistent with the changing shape of an aging person’s foot.
The aging population, along with those with foot pain issues, need a shoe that adapts to their foot shape and how they walk.
Success Criteria
1. Be adaptable to different shoe sizes
2. Must reduce foot pain and help maintain foot health
3. Be more custom than a stock product and more
accessible than a custom product
