The biometric shoe: could 3D printed footwear and machine learning theoretically reduce complications from diabetes?
Year: 2019
Type: article
Abstract: Recent advances in technology have given us 3D printed footwear for marathon runners, along with insoles capable of measuring in-shoe temperature and pressure. Custom 3D printed biometric footwear for those with diabetes and neuropathy therefore seems a natural development but has yet to emerge. The authors discuss both the feasibility of developing a 3D printed shoe incorporating sensors to provide real-time microclimate data and some of the practical problems that remain, including a brief outline of recent advances in this field.
