Smart shoes, a type of Wearable Health Devices, are beneficial for monitoring health status and fitness tracking. They can harvest energy generated by user activities, connect to devices via Wi-Fi, analyze walking patterns using deep learning with a high accuracy of 96.2%, and adjust size for user comfort.
Wearable Health Devices (WHDs) benefit people to monitor their health status and have become a necessity in today's world. The smart shoe is the type of WHD, that provides comfort, convenience, and fitness tracking. Hence smart shoes can be considered as one of the most useful innovations in the field of wearable devices. In this paper, we propose a unique system, in which the smart shoes are capable of energy harvesting when the user is walking, running, dancing, or carrying out any other similar activities. This generated power can be used to charge portable devices (like mobile) and to light up the LED torch. It also has Wi-Fi-that allows it to get connected to smartphones or any device on a cloud. The recorded data were used to determine the walking pattern of the user (gait analysis) using deep learning. The overall classification accuracy obtained with proposed smart shoes could reach up to 96.2%. This gait analysis can be further used for detecting any injury or disorder that the shoe user is suffering from. One more unique feature of the proposed smart shoe is its capability of adjusting the size by using inflatable technology as per the user's comfort.
