Abstract
Purpose
At the moment, in terms of both research and commercial products, smart shoe technology and applications seem not to attract the same magnitude of attention compared to smart garments and other smart wearables such as wrist watches and wrist bands. The purpose of this study is to fill this knowledge gap by discussing issues regarding smart shoe sensing technologies, smart shoe sensor placements, factors that affect sensor placements and finally the areas of smart shoe applications.
Design/methodology/approach
Through a review of relevant literature, this study first and foremost attempts to explain what constitutes a smart shoe and subsequently discusses the current trends in smart shoe applications. Discussed in this study are relevant sensing technologies, sensor placement and areas of smart shoe applications.
Findings
This study outlined 13 important areas of smart shoe applications. It also uncovered that majority of smart shoe functionality are physical activity tracking, health rehabilitation and ambulation assistance for the blind. Also highlighted in this review are some of the bottlenecks of smart shoe development.
Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first comprehensive review paper focused on smart shoe applications, and therefore serves as an apt reference for researchers within the field of smart footwear.
期刊介绍：
Sensor Review publishes peer reviewed state-of-the-art articles and specially commissioned technology reviews. Each issue of this multidisciplinary journal includes high quality original content covering all aspects of sensors and their applications, and reflecting the most interesting and strategically important research and development activities from around the world. Because of this, readers can stay at the very forefront of high technology sensor developments.
Emphasis is placed on detailed independent regular and review articles identifying the full range of sensors currently available for specific applications, as well as highlighting those areas of technology showing great potential for the future. The journal encourages authors to consider the practical and social implications of their articles.
All articles undergo a rigorous double-blind peer review process which involves an initial assessment of suitability of an article for the journal followed by sending it to, at least two reviewers in the field if deemed suitable.
Sensor Review’s coverage includes, but is not restricted to:
Mechanical sensors – position, displacement, proximity, velocity, acceleration, vibration, force, torque, pressure, and flow sensors
Electric and magnetic sensors – resistance, inductive, capacitive, piezoelectric, eddy-current, electromagnetic, photoelectric, and thermoelectric sensors
Temperature sensors, infrared sensors, humidity sensors
Optical, electro-optical and fibre-optic sensors and systems, photonic sensors
Biosensors, wearable and implantable sensors and systems, immunosensors
Gas and chemical sensors and systems, polymer sensors
Acoustic and ultrasonic sensors
Haptic sensors and devices
Smart and intelligent sensors and systems
Nanosensors, NEMS, MEMS, and BioMEMS
Quantum sensors
Sensor systems: sensor data fusion, signals, processing and interfacing, signal conditioning.
