iWalk: Personalized Steps for Children's feet Health

 

iWalk is a health sciences project focused on improving children's foot health through smart orthotic insoles and personalized gait tracking. Using continuous data collection, the insoles adapt to each child’s growth, promoting proper musculoskeletal development. An interactive app encourages children to stay engaged while providing real-time gait data for parents and healthcare professionals. This early intervention approach helps correct gait abnormalities during critical childhood years, with sustained behavioral change improving posture alignment, movement symmetry, and long-term foot health.
