Footbit-Silver: Revolutionizing Fall Prevention & Enhancing Stability
Experience a new level of safety and stability with Footbit-Silver. Our advanced sensible socks are designed to prevent falls, address freezing of gait (FoG) in Parkinson’s Disease, and enhance diagnostic accuracy, helping elderly individuals maintain independence and improve overall well-being
Forewarned is Forearmed
The risk of falls in elderly people has been correlated with various degrees of foot pronation as well as other foot or gait abnormalities
( 1,2,3 )
We have developed Footbit-Silver socks to identify and monitor foot postures/positions, gait abnormalities, and fall incidents.
The innovative socks can be conveniently worn for extended periods of time during which Footbit-Silver sensors transmit data into a machine learning program,
which in turn predicts and forewarns the wearer of a potential fall.
Footbit-Silver is equipped with a real-time alerting system via SMS service to a point of contact including the wearer.
Technology-Enhanced Healthcare
Footbit-Silver offers a revolutionary solution to a major concern in routine patient and elderly care: falls. Elderly patients are particularly vulnerable to falls, which can lead to serious injuries, such as fractures, head trauma, and other complications ( 4 ). By continuously monitoring the orientation of the foot and detecting irregularities in gait patterns, Footbit-Silver provides real-time alerts to caregivers, enabling timely interventions
Addressing Freezing of Gait in Parkinson’s Disease
With advanced AI and machine learning, Footbit-Silver’s accuracy and predictability functions are expected to increase. Extra features such as anti-slip mechanisms, warming capabilities to improve blood supply can be added or customized. We aim to keep refining our product to achieve wider applicability and affordability. Gait disorders and Parkinson’s patients can benefit from Footbit-Silver’s comprehensive data on the foot’s orientation and movement.
Diagnostic Accuracy and Predictive care
The device's precise tracking of foot movements helps identify subtle changes in balance and stability, which are often early indicators of a potential fall. This proactive approach not only enhances patient safety but also reduces the burden on healthcare systems by preventing fall-related injuries and hospitalizations. Further, diagnostic errors, including misdiagnosis and delayed diagnosis, pose significant risks to patient safety and treatment efficacy. Footbit-Silver addresses this issue by providing accurate and continuous monitoring of foot orientations and movements, offering valuable data that can aid in the early detection of various conditions, such as peripheral neuropathy, early-stage arthritis, and other musculoskeletal disorders. By integrating this data into the patient’s health records, healthcare providers can make more informed decisions, leading to timely and accurate diagnoses. Footbit-Silver thus plays a critical role in enhancing diagnostic accuracy, improving patient outcomes, and optimizing overall healthcare delivery for the elderly.
