Smart shoe sensing platform
A shoe-integrated sensor platform for collecting foot-pressure and movement data.
The project
Capture pressure distribution during movement in a form factor suitable for footwear.
Product highlights
- Flexible force-sensitive resistor sensor PCB.
- BMD300 / nRF52832 wireless data transmission.
- Motion sensing, power management, and wireless charging integration.
How we approached it
For a battery-powered Bluetooth product like the Smart shoe sensing platform, the power budget shapes every decision. We plan how often the radio wakes, which sensors sample and how fast, and which sleep states the Flexible PCB, FSR sensors, BLE hardware can use between events.
The Bluetooth interface is designed together with the companion app: which data is streamed, which is read on demand, and how settings and alerts flow back to the device. Over-the-air updates are planned from the first build so field units can be fixed without a cable. See our nRF52 vs ESP32 guide for the platform trade-offs.
