Inspired by a team member's grandmother and interviews with the elderly community. We created STRIDE: AI-powered insoles, a wearable, and an app, that analyzes your walking patterns, preemptively alerts you when exhaustion or imbalance is nearing, and guides you to nearby resources when needed.

With an elder-friendly UI that also provides personalized safety tips and fitness tracking, STRIDE empowers seniors to maintain their independence and walk with peace of mind. Beyond personal benefits, STRIDE eases the burden on healthcare systems and fosters social inclusion.

As societies age, the challenges faced by the elderly become increasingly complex. Preserving independence and mobility are vital for senior well-being, yet issues such as exhaustion, imbalance, and safety concerns often hinder these goals. Inspired by insights from team members' grandparents and interviews with the elderly community, STRIDE emerges as a beacon of innovation, offering AI-powered insoles, wearables, and a user-friendly app.

This holistic solution not only addresses individual mobility needs but also contributes to broader societal benefits, including reducing healthcare burdens and fostering social inclusion. STRIDE is a comprehensive mobility solution tailored specifically for seniors. It comprises of three interconnected components:AI-powered insoles, a wearable device, and a mobile application.

Each element serves a distinct purpose, and together, they form a seamless ecosystem designed to enhance the daily lives of seniors. Central to STRIDE's technology are its AI-powered insoles. Embedded with sensors, these innovative insoles monitor and analyze the user's walking patterns in real-time. Continuously assessing factors such as gait, balance, and pressure distribution, the insoles detect subtle changes indicating fatigue or instability. When signs of exhaustion or imbalance are detected, the insoles preemptively alert the user, providing timely notifications to take necessary precautions. In addition, bubbles designed to target pressure points on the underside of the foot inflate to better support your walking habits.

This proactive approach helps prevent falls and injuries, promoting confidence and peace of mind during daily activities. Complementing the AI-powered insoles is a wearable device that serves as the central hub of the STRIDE system.This compact device houses advanced processing capabilities, enabling it to communicate with the insoles and the accompanying mobile app. Acting asa bridge between the user's movements and the intelligent algorithms running in the background, the wearable device collects data from the insoles, analyzes it in real-time, and relays relevant insights and notifications to the user via subtle vibrations or visual cues.

The third component of STRIDE is a user-friendly mobile application, designed with the unique needs of seniors in mind. The app serves as a comprehensive platform where users can access personalized insights, track their mobility metrics, and receive guidance tailored to their individual circumstances. Featuring an elder-friendly interface, the app prioritizes simplicity and accessibility, allowing users to easily navigate through various functionalities such as setting up preferences, reviewing safety tips, and accessing nearby resources.
